IMPD's Other Fallen Officer

While the attention has been focused on the tragic shooting death of Officer David Moore this week, another IMPD officer died this week as well. Thirty-one year old Officer Jason Jordan, who worked at the north district where Officer Moore also worked, died on Monday. While there has been some speculation in the comment thread of this blog on the cause of Jordan's death, let's just remember and honor his service as well here and extend our thoughts and prayers to his family.
