IMPD Releases Video of July Pursuit in Which Murder Suspect Fired on Officers

The release coincides with parallel reviews by IMPD, the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, a civilian board.

Overview

  • Footage from body-worn cameras and dashcams shows 76-year-old Walter McNary shooting at multiple officers during a chase on Indianapolis’ near-northwest side.
  • IMPD says the pursuit followed the fatal shooting of McNary’s wife, 60-year-old Nola McNary, earlier that morning at a home on North Ritter Avenue.
  • Video depicts shots striking squad car windshields and two patrol vehicles sustaining significant damage as officers returned fire at several locations.
  • The chase ended on West 32nd Street, where McNary pointed a firearm at Officer Robinson, who fired a patrol rifle before SWAT moved in using a shielded vehicle and a flashbang.
  • Investigators recovered a rifle next to McNary and a handgun in his car; no officers or uninvolved community members were reported injured, and involved officers are on administrative leave during ongoing reviews.
