Investigation Determines MPD Officers Were Justified In Shooting Suspect

An investigation has determined that four Muncie Police officers acted in self defense when they shot and killed 30 year old Tyler Warner in an incident on July 5th. Delaware County Prosecutor Eric Hoffman said Warner “made the choice to arm himself with a gun that looks exactly like a real firearm,” and then pointed it “directly at uniformed police officers and took what appeared to be a shooting stance.” Warner ignored officers’ demands to drop the weapon.
