One trooper started performing immediate medical care and applied a tourniquet to Wells, while other troopers started to clear the home in an attempt to find Glass. This is when Glass was found in a back room of the home and was seen holding a handgun.
The troopers report taking cover for their safety and then heard a single gunshot.
They immediately cleared the entire home for everyone’s safety and went back inside the home where they found Glass deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Wells was transported to Regional Hospital by Trans Care for immediate medical care for several gunshot wounds. He is expected to make a full recovery.
An autopsy will be scheduled on Glass with the Vigo County Coroner’s Office and will be performed at Terre Haute Regional Hospital.
