A Tell City Police Sergeant and another man were both killed in a shooting that happened Monday morning at Perry County Memorial Hospital.
Just before 1 a.m. local time, officers from the Tell City Police Department, Perry County Sheriff’s Office, and Cannelton Police Department responded to Perry County Memorial Hospital for a disturbance.
“Officers confronted a male subject, Sean Hubert, 34, of Tell City. An altercation occurred with Hubert and shots were fired. During the exchange of gunfire, Tell City Sergeant Heather Glenn and Hubert were struck. Both Hubert and Glenn succumbed to their injuries at the scene,” said Indiana State Police Sergeant John Davis in a Monday morning news conference.
Glenn worked for the Perry County Sheriff’s Office and Tell City police for nearly two decades.
“Our police department suffered a tremendous loss. We are extremely heartbroken. We’re confident that with the support of our community…we will get through this,” Tell City Police Chief Derrick Lawalin.
Medical services are closed at the hospital except for the emergency room. Anyone in need of emergency medical assistance is being told to enter the south emergency room entrance.
Police say they will release more information as they get it.
Governor Eric J. Holcomb offered the following statement regarding fallen police sergeant Heather Glenn:
“Another officer has fallen victim to the senseless act of violence. I urge Hoosiers to remember Tell City Police Sgt. Heather Glenn who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the safety of others. She dedicated nearly 20 years to serving the citizens of Perry County and Tell City and now her family needs our love and support more than ever.
Janet and I will hold her loved ones in our hearts during this painful time as they try and find peace and solace.”
