With heavy hearts, we pray for our BGPD family as we mourn the loss of Officer Brian Elliott.
We are grateful for each and every one of you and will continue to pray for you in the weeks ahead.
To the family of Officer Elliott our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God cover you in peace and hold you in his care.
A message from Beech Grove Police Chief Michael Maurice:
"It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that today we lost one of our very own, Officer Brian Elliott. Officer Elliott, along with two other Beech Grove Police Department officers, was dispatched at 6:08 p.m. to the 100 block of Diplomat Court for a disturbance. After they arrived, Officer Elliott and another officer were shot. Both officers were rushed to Eskenazi Hospital, but despite the best lifesaving efforts by medical personnel, Officer Elliott succumbed to his injuries. The other officer, who we are not naming at this time, is currently in stable condition and is expected to survive.
My heart goes out to Brianโs wife, Erin, his parents, and all of his family, friends, and loved ones. At this time, I am asking that we lean on one another to get through this.
We are grateful to the team at Eskenazi Hospital, and our law enforcement and community partners for their extraordinary response and support."
