A deputy with the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office apparently shot and killed a person near the University of Southern Indiana early Tuesday morning.
Investigators are still sorting out the details, but here is what we know. Deputies responded to a vandalism call on Broadway Avenue just after 1:00 Tuesday morning. Something happened that caused the officer to call for backup. When deputies got to 6200 Short Selzer Road, one of them fired his weapon.
