THE INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETE AND THE RANDOLPH COUNTY PROSECUTOR HAS RELEASED A STATEMENT REGARDING THE OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING IN NEW PITTSBURG INDIANA, ALMOST THREE WEEKS AGO. JUST BEFORE 5PM ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, RANDOLPH COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES WERE RESPONDING TO AN OVERDOSE CALL IN THE FOUR THOUSAND BLOCK OF EAST ELM STREET IN UNION CITY, WHEN THEY WERE TOLD THE SUSPECT HAD FLED HIS HOUSE. OFFICERS FOUND 19-YEAR-OLD BRAYDEN DANIEL BARNHOUSE OF MUNCIE IN NEW PITTSBURG, WHICH IS IN FAR NORTHERN RANDOLPH COUNTY. BARNHOUSE FIRED A ROUND AT THE DEPUTIES, GRAZING ONE OF THEM. DEPUTIES RETURNED FIRE HITTING THE SUSPECT, WHO LATER WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD BY THE RANDOLPH COUNTY CORONER. AFTER REVIEWING REPORTS AND BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE, RANDOLPH COUNTY PROSECUTOR DAVID DALY (DAL – EE) SAID IN A STATEMENT ISSUED LATE LAST WEEK THAT THE FACTS IN THIS CASE DO NOT WARRANT THE FILING OF CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST EITHER OF THE INVOLVED.
