Snyder and Harrison called for an immediate public safety meeting, saying the mayor, judges, the FOP and law enforcement representatives, and the prosecutor should come together to discuss solutions.
Snyder called out Indy politicians for the attention they placed on the FedEx shooting, compared to the violence that occurs on a regular basis.
“We saw politicians trip over themselves to get in front of cameras to talk about the issue at hand,” said Snyder. “When all the national network cameras left town, our politicians went back to remaining silent.”
Snyder said Mayor Joe Hogsett has done a good job by keeping promises to hire more police officers, but that’s not enough. But, Snyder had words to criticize Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears and the practices of his office.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) All “red flag” cases filed by Indianapolis police will now come before a judge after an Indiana prosecutor was criticized for declining to use the law to pursue court hearings that could have prevented a man from accessing the guns used to kill eight people at a FedEx facility last month.
Judge Amy Jones, who oversees the filings of red flag cases in Marion County, issued new guidance this week. All such reports will now go straight to her courtroom instead of the prosecutor’s office. Indianapolis police will have 48 hours to submit those filings, and two judges will then decide within 14 days whether to hold a hearing.
