Prosecutor: Fatal shooting appears to be self-defense<\/a><\/p>\n

ANDERSON \u2014 A June 19 shooting that left one Anderson man dead and another in critical condition might have been an act of self-defense, according to the Madison County prosecutor.<\/p>\n

Anderson police officers were called to the intersection of 16th and Madison Avenue three times the night of June 18 and early the morning of June 19.<\/p>\n

Five people were shot, leaving Landon Hill, 24, dead from a gunshot wound, according to Madison County Coroner Dr. Troy Abbott.<\/p>\n

Madison County Prosecutor Rodney Cummings said Wednesday that the Anderson Police Department has not requested charges to be filed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey sent us the video,\u201d Cummings said. \u201cOn its face, it appears to be self-defense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cummings said his summation of evidence shows a verbal and physical alternation between Hill and another man. Hill shot the other man, who than shot and killed Hill, according to the prosecutor.<\/p>\n

Cummings said a woman was later seen picking up a handgun from near where Hill fell in the parking lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were a number of shots fired and a number of people involved,\u201d the prosecutor said. \u201cI expect several charges to be filed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shooting also wounded two women who were later treated and released from an Anderson hospital.<\/p>\n

Anderson Police Chief Mike Lee said his department has turned evidence over to the prosecutor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

The initial shooting took place about midnight June 18.<\/p>\n

Officers found two victims when they arrived. The officers administered aid and secured the area for medics to transport the victims to an Anderson hospital, according to APD reports.<\/p>\n

A man is listed in critical condition at an Indianapolis hospital suffering from a gunshot wound, and three people \u2014 a man and two women \u2014 were treated and released, Lee said.<\/p>\n

A news release from Anderson police said the second incident occurred about 3:30 a.m. when officers responded to a second report of gunshots in the same area. The release said officers were already nearby monitoring the crowd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
