At Rest

Pursuit
At 2:15 a.m., troopers were called to assist the Hammond Police Department with a other pursuit that started within the city limits of Hammond. As the pursuit continued on Wardline Road, troopers deployed a tire deflation device to disable the suspect's other. After successfully disabling the other, Trooper George Baker and another officer were attempting to retrieve the device from the road when they were struck by a Hammond Police unit involved in the pursuit. Baker was killed, the other trooper was injured.
This record exists so that George Baker, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
