Police bullet that killed Bloomington man hit aorta, lung
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — A coroner says the bullet that killed a Bloomington man who pointed a handgun at officers entered his thigh and traveled upward, penetrating his aorta, liver and a lung.
The Herald-Times reports Monroe County Coroner Joani Shields released the cause and manner of death for 24-year-old Daniel Boyer on Friday following a Wednesday autopsy in Terre Haute. Results from toxicology tests are pending.
Monroe County Sheriff Brad Swain has said Boyer pointed a loaded handgun at Deputies Don Teague and Deandre Moxley while they served arrest warrants Tuesday morning at a mobile home in southwestern Monroe County. Both deputies fired their handguns, striking Boyer four times.
