A message from Beech Grove Police Chief Michael Maurice:
"It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that today we lost one of our very own, Officer Brian Elliott. Officer Elliott, along with two other Beech Grove Police Department officers, was dispatched at 6:08 p.m. to the 100 block of Diplomat Court for a disturbance. After they arrived, Officer Elliott and another officer were shot. Both officers were rushed to Eskenazi Hospital, but despite the best lifesaving efforts by medical personnel, Officer Elliott succumbed to his injuries. The other officer, who we are not naming at this time, is currently in stable condition and is expected to survive.
My heart goes out to Brian’s wife, Erin, his parents, and all of his family, friends, and loved ones. At this time, I am asking that we lean on one another to get through this.
We are grateful to the team at Eskenazi Hospital, and our law enforcement and community partners for their extraordinary response and support."

MESSAGE FROM MAYOR COFFMAN
At 7 a.m. this morning, the Beech Grove PD responded to a shooting at Park View Apartments. Two children were shot. They were transported by Beech Grove EMS to Riley Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Within five hours, the Beech Grove PD arrested three individuals in connection with the shooting. I want to thank the Beech Grove PD for their excellent police work, as well as the other responding public safety agencies for their quick response. Due to the age of the victims, I believe it is important we communicate with the community what happened and thank our police officers for their work. Below is a video from earlier today when I was joined by Beech Grove PD officers to brief the media and public.
- Mayor James W. Coffman
