Indy councilor says his home was shot up, 'no data centers' sign left behind

Indianapolis Metro Police are investigating a shooting at the home of City-County Councilor Ron Gibson, where a dozen shots were fired into his front door early Monday morning. Gibson, who was asleep inside with his son, stated that a sign reading "No data centers" was left beneath the bullet holes and shattered glass. Gibson believes his home was targeted due to his vote last Wednesday to approve rezoning for a data center in the Martindale-Brightwood area, which is within his district. In a statement, Gibson emphasized that violence is never the answer, especially when it puts families at risk, stating, "I'm a public servant, but I am also a father and a neighbor." The violent Crimes Task Force, with assistance from the FBI, is leading the investigation, which Metro Police have deemed a targeted and isolated incident. The shooting has shocked neighbors and prompted reactions from other city leaders, including Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett.
