Indiana officer shot in exchange of gunfire out of hospital

GREENCASTLE, Ind. (AP) — State Police say a central Indiana police officer shot by a man during an exchange of gunfire is recuperating after being released from a hospital.

Lt. Jeff Hearon with the State Police's Putnamville post said Sunday that Cloverdale Officer Luke Brown was treated and released from a Terre Haute hospital following Saturday's shooting and "is doing fine."

Brown was shot in the chest Saturday afternoon when he arrived at a Greencastle residence to investigate a theft at a local store in the city about 40 miles west of Indianapolis. He was wearing a bulletproof vest.

State Police say Brown returned fire and struck the suspected gunman in the torso.
