Deadly force
Troopers received a call around 9 a.m. about a domestic disturbance. Officers discovered that Joshua Ebinger was violating a protection order a woman had placed against him. Two Ripley County deputies, a Indiana State Police trooper and a Versailles police officer responded to the residence. Officers said the woman exited the home and was moved to a safe location. Ebinger reportedly exited the residence, holding a handgun. Officers commanded Ebinger to drop the handgun. He allegedly pointed the weapon at the officers. The trooper and one of the deputies shot and killed Ebinger.
This record exists so that Joshua “Josh” Edward Ebinger, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
