Councilman's Home Shot Up Over Data Center Plan

0:00On April 7th, an Indianapolis City Councilman named Ron Gibson and his eight-year-old son got a rude wake-up call when someone fired 13 shots at. Their front door, around 12.45 a.m. on Monday, a note reading, no data centers, was left right there on the doorstep, making it clear this was no random act. Police got the call just after 9 a.m. and found clear signs of gunfire at the house on East 41st Street, but luckily no one was hurt. Gibson let's hit just steps from the dining room table where the kid had been building Legos the day before. Gibson called it deeply unsettling, not just an attack on him, but a real threat to his child in the whole neighborhood. He knows public service stirs up strong feelings, especially over hot-button issues like development, but he stressed violence has no place, particularly when families are at risk. This ties back to Gibson backing a plan to turn a long bacon sight into a data center, saying it could boost the area and the city. Copseed as a targeted, isolated incident, and the FBI is stepping in to help investigate.
