Off-Duty Officer Faces Prison After Indy Shootout

News summary

Officer Maurice Magee of the Anderson Police Department has been charged with two counts of criminal recklessness after allegedly exchanging gunfire while off duty during an incident in Indianapolis on May 19. Magee tracked his stolen vehicle using an Apple AirTag and, with another armed individual, confronted the suspects, leading to a collision and a shootout. Forensic evidence, including shell casings and a bullet that entered a child's bedroom, disproved Magee's claim that he did not fire his AR-15, confirming he fired at least once. The theft suspects remain unidentified and at large. Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears criticized Magee for endangering residents by intervening instead of letting police investigate. Magee faces potential prison time if convicted.
