On this day, August 31, 1955, we lost Trooper Earl Brown when he was shot and killed while searching a suspicious person who was walking along US31 in Jackson County while carrying a shotgun. Trooper Brown and a Columbus City Police officer arrived on scene and investigated the subject who was walking near the Bartholomew and Jackson County Line. During the search of the subject, he pulled a handgun and shot Trooper Brown twice. The Columbus PD officer returned fire and wounded the subject, who survived and was later determined to be insane. Trooper Brown had served with the Indiana State Police for nearly 15 years and was assigned to the Seymour Post.
