The bodies of the victims, a man and a woman, were discovered by a fellow worker reporting for day-shift duty, according to unofficial reports. Both EMTs had been shot sometime during their overnight shift.

Indiana State Police confirmed officers had been dispatched early today to the "EMS barn" on Indiana 61 just south of Pike Central High School, but disclosed no other details.

Grant, I think the entire country is changing, or at least some of the people are. This type of thing is happening more and more. Small towns that were always "safe" no longer are. Guess it's up to each of us to try to protect our families and ourselves, and just teach our kids to be "decent" and care about others. I don't know of any way to reverse the trend that seems to be spreading. Jan

I just heard about the EMT's earlier tonight. As both a Hoosier and an EMT, this hit a little too close to home. Up here in the northeast corner of the state, we're on a record pace as for as meth lab busts. So much for the serenity of rural America.

Bet they all went to day care.

GEEEZ!!! And I thought Chicago was bad.... Sorry to hear, of course.

Its getting scary all over. Still like Mom's idea about mounting a shot gun (sawed off) and a sign saying "No revenuers"... Getting closer to considering it more and more.

Fortunately, they don't do too much of that up here, yet. They vandalize school buses... break into cars and turn on the dome lights to run down your battery (got us like that last weekend)... But they do go off in the woods with their pills, powders and smoke, though.

Funny... don't remember who posted the thing about small towns, but where I come from they have ALWAYS had that reputation...
