JUST IN | Officer Seara Burton remains in critical condition Thursday night, after suffering a gunshot wound to her head, according to Richmond Police Chief Michael Britt. She has shown signs of responsiveness but remains unconscious according to Britt.
Around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Burton responded to assist other officers with a traffic stop near North 12th Street and C Street, according to Indiana State Police.
While officers were talking with the suspect, Phillip M. Lee, 47, of Richmond, Lee pulled out a firearm, fired several rounds at officers and struck Burton. Other officers returned fire, hitting Lee and he ran.According to Britt, Burton suffered a gunshot wound to her head. As you could imagine this event was traumatic to not only Off. Burton but to the many officers that responded to the scene to assist where they could. The critical injuring of our sister in blue was not easy to see. I have chosen to temporarily re-assign most officers involved with the incident to other duties, along with EAP to collect themselves.
Let me also mention the selfless outpouring of support, not only by our Law Enforcement brothers and sisters, but the outpouring of support from many members of our community, including local businesses. It has been truly heart- warming to witness the things I’ve seen and heard of today. This truly defines our communities’ interest in the well- being of their first responders and fellow citizens. For this, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
