FRANKLIN, IN — The Indianapolis State police have identified 37-year-old Robert Bido of Indianapolis as the suspect who was killed in an officer-involved shooting in Franklin on Tuesday.

According to ISP, just after 1:30 p.m., IMPD Violent Crimes Unit detectives, members of the Indianapolis SWAT team and Franklin Police officers were attempting to find a wanted suspect in the 1200 block of Mitsubishi Parkway in Franklin.

SWAT officers surrounded a semi-truck that they believed the suspect was in, and gave several verbal commands. ISP said the suspect refused to comply with the orders of the officers and did not exit the semi-truck.

Several tactical resources were used in an attempt to de-escalate the situation, but ultimately, the officers fired at the suspect and struck the suspect, according to ISP.

Officers provided aid at the scene and the suspect was taken to an area hospital in critical condition, where he succumbed to his injuries.
