About two dozen government officials and police officers gathered Friday afternoon at the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s North District headquarters to condemn the recent attacks on city police stations.
The media event offered little in the way of new information about the hail of bullets fired at the police station at 3120 E. 30th St. late Thursday. IMPD Chief Troy Riggs declined to elaborate on security measures, such as whether all stations are outfitted with surveillance cameras, citing concerns about making security measures public.

But Riggs, Mayor Joe Hogsett and U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler said they were prepared to use city, state and federal resources to investigate the shootings.
Hogsett called the two recent incidents the “act of a coward,” promising that investigators will find and arrest the people involved.
Officials have suggested the shootings could be in retaliation for a recent crackdown on drug dealers, though IMPD Sgt. Kendale Adams said police don’t yet know for certain why these stations were targeted. It could be the result of some other vendetta, he said.
