ISP investigating after Greenfield police shooting leaves 54-year-old man dead

GREENFIELD, Ind. – An investigation is underway after a man was killed in a shooting involving police officers in Greenfield Monday night.

Indiana State Police, the agency leading the investigation into the incident, said officers initially responded to a domestic incident at a home on Sedgewick Lane around 9:25 p.m. Officers arrived and met with 54-year-old Ted Feasel, who ISP said answered the door before quickly closing it.

Police on the scene continued speaking with Feasel before he eventually opened the door again. Indiana State Police, the agency leading the investigation into the incident, said Feasel had a handgun pointed in the direction of the officers.

Three officers subsequently opened fire, striking Feasel. The officers who discharged their department-issued weapons immediately provided medical aid to Feasel as they waited for emergency medical personnel to arrive.

ISP confirmed Feasel died shortly after he was transported to an area hospital. No officers or uninvolved citizens were injured.

The three officers who fired their weapons have been placed on administrative leave in conjunction with standard department protocol following any police shooting.

ISP will present the findings of its investigation to the Hancock County Prosecutor’s Office for final review.
