    An Indiana police officer was "ambushed" and fatally shot near a federal building Wednesday, hours after an officer in Chicago along with two federal agents were shot while working undercover, the FBI said.

    Terre Haute Det. Greg Ferency, a 30-year veteran of the police force, was shot outside the FBI Indianapolis Resident Agency around 2:15 p.m., the agency said in a statement. The officer was on an assignment with an FBI task force on behalf of the Terre Haute Police Department at the time and had been a federal task force officer since 2010, officials said.

    An FBI agent shot the suspected gunman, who remains at a local hospital, the FBI said.

    The FBI said it entends its "deepest sympathy to TFO Ferency’s family, friends and fellow officers."

    Authorities have not said what led to the shooting but were initially looking for a suspect believed to be driving a Ford F-150 truck with rear-end damage and was considered to be armed and dangerous, Fox affiliate WXIN-TV reported.

    That unidentified suspect was later taken into custody and was undergoing surgery, the news outlet reported. Ferency was the third Terre Haute office to be killed in the line of duty in the past 10 years, Carter said.

    "This is an example of someone that would die for a person who hates who they are," he said.

    He declined to provide more details about the deadly shooting and authorities are still searching for a motive.
    The shooting occurred hours after a Chicago police officer and agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) working undercover were shot around 5:50 a.m., authorities in Chicago said.

    The three officers were riding in the same unmarked, undercover vehicle attempting to enter the freeway when they were fired upon from the street, Brown said. A person of interest was being interviewed in connection with the shooting, police said.

    One ATF agent injured is a male, the other is a female. The police officer is a male. No other identifying information was immediately released. They were listed in stable condition.

    That’s terrible. There have been multiple incidents at RA’s and FO’s around the country recently.

    while I realize this is an open forum, but can you provide further information? Are these targeted attacks or general violence that happens to occur by FO's and RA's? Stay safe in any event.

    RIP. The perpetrator needs to be tried and given the needle for this.

    Don't want to be specific, and @HCM posted one I was thinking of. Mainly it's just weird stuff/disturbed people.

    I saw a story earlier where the murderer's neighbor didn't want to be identified. Says a lot to me.

    Greg Ferency walked out of the building and the document says Meehan shot him. FBI Special Agent Ryan Lindgren ran out, engaging Meehan in a gun battle.

    During the gun battle, the document states Meehan was shot twice before getting into his truck and fleeing the building.

    Law enforcement officials found Meehan at a Terre Haute hospital where he underwent surgery for his gunshot wounds. The court document states a firearm and three Molotov Cocktails were discovered in Meehan’s tuck along with additional ammunition.

    Apparently, the shooter was a federal corrections officer for many years.
