It is with deep regret that we must report that Corporal Nick S. Polizzotto of the South Bend Police Department, has succumbed to the gunshot injuries he recieved while responding to an armed disturbance in the early morning hours of Tuesday, April 24th, 2007.
On April 24th, 2007 at 01:39 AM, the SBPD Dispatch Center received a call of shots fired in the 1700 block of Lincoln Way East. Officers arriving on the scene were then directed to the Wooden Indian Motel, located at 1631 Lincoln Way East. Moments later the officers were able to locate an armed man and were attempting to detain him when the subject shot both officers.
During the encounter, Patrolman Michael Norby was shot and wounded and Corporal Nick S. Polizzotto, a nine year veteran of the South Bend Police Department, was shot and killed. The suspect in this case was also fatally wounded by gunfire during the exchange.
