The February 2022 shooting seriously wounded first-year Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Officer Thomas Mangan. The officer suffered damage to his voice box and Adam’s apple when Hill shot him in the throat at the base of his neck.
A suspect who shot an Indianapolis police officer in the throat has been convicted of attempted murder, alongside other charges.
“Officer Mangan’s life was forever changed that night when he answered the call to serve his community,” Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said Thursday in a statement.
Mangan was shot as officers were responding to the scene of a car crash in Indianapolis’ Fountain Square neighborhood. Witnesses directed officers to a car and Hill, who was believed to be connected to the reported accident, prosecutors said.
Hill fled on foot and opened fire, wounding Mangan, after ignoring police commands to stop and show his hands, police said. A second officer returned fire, wounding Hill, who fired several more shots before fleeing. He was later arrested, and officers recovered his handgun.

GREENWOOD, Ind. (WISH) — A tornado-warned storm late Monday night that moved through Greenwood has damaged a school auditorium.
Superintendent Terry Terhune of Greenwood Community Schools tells News 8 that at least one tree was downed and the auditorium received some damage at Greenwood Community High School. Strong winds lifted some siding from the back of the auditorium.
Terhune said the storm put some small holes in the school’s roof where water was leaking, and the damage assessment was continuing shortly before midnight Monday.
A tornado warning was issued for the area around 10:50 p.m. Monday.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) – A new state report shows more students are earning credentials tied directly to jobs as enrollment at community colleges is nearly back to pre-pandemic levels.
Students are training in-field for jobs hiring now at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids.
Shamar Benton is weeks away from graduating Kirkwood’s Construction Management program. He said community college gave him hands-on experience before entering the workforce.
“It’s a great program,” Benton said. “They put us through real life situations, and I feel like you don’t get that at other colleges.”
The 2025 Annual Condition of Iowa’s Community Colleges report shows community college enrollment is rebounding, with Career and Technical Education programs driving more than three-quarters of degrees, and nine-in-ten graduates employed within a year.
Jennifer Bradley, vice president of academic affairs at Kirkwood, said students are interested in experiential learning.
Kirkwood said CTE programs are built around what local employers need to fill openings in areas like health care and construction.
“We are dedicated to making sure that students get those experiences in the classroom that are directly connected to what they can anticipate when they get out in industry,” Bradley said.
Benton said the smaller setting makes a difference. Fewer students per class means more one-on-one time with instructors.
“Kirkwood is together. It’s like a family,” Benton said.
