TELL CITY, Ind. (WFIE) - Indiana State Police say they’re investigating an officer involved shooting at Perry County Memorial Hospital.

It happened around 12:50 a.m. Monday.

Troopers say several agencies were called for a disturbance.

During an exchange of gunfire, troopers say both the suspect, 34-year-old Sean Hubert, and 47-year-old Tell City Police Sgt. Heather Glenn were shot and killed.

Sgt. Glenn was a 20 year veteran of the department.

Shortly before 6:15 a.m. we could see a coroner’s vehicle and a long line of law enforcement vehicles leaving the hospital.

Troopers say Hubert had been in a domestic fight with a woman Sunday, and she came to the hospital for treatment.

They say the woman later alerted hospital staff that Hubert was on his way.

Officers with the Tell City Police Department, Perry County Sheriff’s Office, and Cannelton Police responded.

They say Hubert refused to comply with Sgt. Glenn, and she used a stun gun that was not effective.

Troopers say Hubert then pulled out a gun and shot Sgt. Glenn, and other officers shot Hubert.

They held a news conference Monday morning.

Troopers say all medical services are closed at the hospital at this time.

The emergency room is the only service.

Anyone with a medical emergency should enter the emergency room from the south entrance.

We were sent a press release from the hospital:

“Perry County Memorial Hospital is continuing to provide emergency care for patients while responding to the overnight shooting that took the life of Tell City Police Officer Heather Glenn, as well as the suspect in the incident. All other services at the hospital are currently closed.

The hospital is also working closely with local law enforcement, and all questions regarding the incident should be directed to Indiana State Police.
