Councilor says home shot after vote on data center

Indianapolis City-County Councilor Ron Gibson reported that his home was shot at by over two bullets following his affirmative vote for a data center project in Indianapolis. The incident occurred around midnight, with police responding at 9 AM the next morning. Gibson and his 8-year-old son were sleeping inside the home at the time of the shooting. A note explicitly stating "No data centers" was left behind by the unknown assailant. Photos displayed 13 apparent bullet holes in the front door and a shattered screen door window, indicating the severity of the attack. In a statement, Councilor Gibson expressed his dismay, acknowledging strong opinions in public service but firmly condemning violence, particularly when it endangers families. He highlighted his role as both a public servant and a father, stating that such acts contradict his efforts to combat violence in the neighborhood.
