“At some point during law enforcement’s attempts to de-escalate the situation, Adams reportedly fired shots at police,” Scott Keegan, Indiana State Police Public Information Officer, said in a statement updated Friday by the morning. From there, three SWAT teams worked to try to get Adams out of his home peacefully, but after he refused to contact police, police injected gas into the home.
When SWAT members entered the home to find Adams, he allegedly pointed a gun at them. That’s when SWAT members fired at him, hitting him at least once.
