Officials from the Indiana State Police, Bremen Post and Plymouth Police Department have released the names of the officers involved in a shooting in Plymouth. Trooper William B. Ennis and Plymouth officer Matthew Emenhiser were involved in firing shots at Lane Dodson of Plymouth Monday evening.
Trooper Ennis conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Dodson. Dodson pulled his van into the Kmart parking lot and Trooper Ennis waited for a Plymouth officer, Emnenhiser, to assist at the scene. The pair walked up to the driver’s side window to question Dodson about an alleged domestic issue that occurred earlier in the day. When Dodson was asked to step out of the vehicle, Dodson reportedly raised his gun at police and the officers fired their guns.
Dodson was flown to Memorial Hospital in South Bend.
Investigators from the Bremen Post are conducting interviews and processing evidence collected at the scene. State police detectives are working closely with the Marshall County Prosecutor’s Office in this case.
Trooper Ennis and officer Emenhizer are currently on paid administrative leave with their respective departments which is standard operating procedure in a police-involved shooting.
