The Perry County Memorial Hospital in Tell City, Indiana, was the setting for a devastating shootout that claimed the lives of a police officer and a suspect. The incident took place overnight, with law enforcement agencies responding to a domestic dispute. The hospital, situated halfway between Louisville and Evansville, became the site of the tragic event that unfolded during the early hours of Monday morning.
The confrontation occurred when hospital staff alerted the police about the presence of Sean Hubert, who was reportedly involved in the domestic dispute. The victim of domestic violence, who was receiving treatment for injuries related to the incident, informed the hospital staff about Hubert’s arrival. In an attempt to apprehend Hubert, Tell City Police Sgt. Heather Glenn used an electronic device, likely a taser, but was unsuccessful. During the ensuing struggle, Hubert produced a firearm and shot Sgt. Glenn. Responding officers from the Tell City Police Department and the Cannelton Police Department returned fire, ultimately shooting Hubert.
The shooting took place inside the hospital, near the emergency room, according to Sgt. John Davis of the Indiana State Police. Davis stated that the officers were unaware that Hubert was armed at the time of the confrontation. Sgt. Heather Glenn, a dedicated member of the Tell City Police Department and the Perry County Sheriff’s Office for nearly 20 years, tragically lost her life in the line of duty. Police Chief Derrick Lawalin expressed his deep sorrow, describing Sgt. Glenn as a cherished colleague and friend, emphasizing the significant loss suffered by the police department.
Lawalin extended his condolences to Hubert’s family, acknowledging the difficult situation they now face. The search for Hubert began after officers spoke to the victim of the domestic violence incident on Sunday, according to state police.
