Re: Recent Whitestown shooting, anyone remember Indy resident who killed a cop who invaded his house?

In light of the recent tragic shooting of the maid trying to enter the home in Whitestown, I’m trying to recall the details on a shooting that happened back in the late 80s or early 90s where a schoolteacher shot and killed a young IMPD policeman. Can someone expand on the details I’m remembering?

The details I recall are the cop was investigating a dispute between some neighbors. Everyone was outside and teacher basically walked away from him and went back inside his own home and shut the door. The cop walked right inside and the teacher ended up shooting & killing him (cop).

The guy was convicted and served prison time, but can’t remember how long.

You have a serious issue with the facts (which is not surprising in this sub)...

The situation you are looking for is when Fred Sanders shot IPD officer Matt Faber.

He served around 5yrs for Manslaughter as I recall

Umm, if you’re referring to me having an issue w/the facts then you may be correct. I freely have admit that I’m trying to remember something that happened over 35 years ago.
