MADISON COUNTY — Indiana State Police is investigating a shooting involving officers with the Pendleton Police Department on I-69 in Madison County on Wednesday evening.

ISP says Pendleton police officers responded to I-69 between State Road 9 in Anderson and State Road 38 in Pendleton on reports of a man walking on the interstate.

Upon arrival, ISP says officers began trying to get the man off the side of the road for his safety because it was nearing rush hour.

During the interaction “actions from the man” led officers to discharge their service weapon, striking him at least one.

The man was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased, ISP said.

A knife was located at the scene.

No officers were injured and there is no threat to the community.

The officers involved were wearing bodycams and have been placed on administrative leave.
