INDIANAPOLIS — A man accused of shooting and injuring an IMPD officer in 2022 is about to go on trial.
13News cameras were in the courtroom Tuesday, Jan. 30 as Mylik Hill appeared before a judge. He faces 10 charges, including two counts of attempted murder in the February 2022 shooting of Ofc. Thomas Mangan.
(NOTE: The above video is from a previous report on a court hearing for Mylik Hill.)
The shooting happened during a traffic stop in Fountain Square. Mangan was shot twice, with one bullet hitting his throat, shattering his voice box.
While the bullet impacted his voice, his vision and stole his career, Mangan told 13News he wouldn't change a thing. His wife, Emory, said in the midst of their suffering and hardship, there is hope.
"Tommy said he wouldn't change anything. I'm still getting there, but his conviction is that it's all worth it. He wouldn't change anything because he trusts that God has placed this in our lives for a reason," she said at the time.
The judge assigned Hill a public defender over his objections as he wants to represent himself. His trial is set to begin Tuesday, Feb. 13.
