Indianapolis Council Member's Home Targeted by Gunfire Following Data Center Vote
Indianapolis City-County Council member Ron Gibson's home was targeted by gunfire on April 6, shortly after he publicly supported a controversial data center project. According to a spokesperson, Gibson was awakened by the sound of 13 gunshots fired at his residence. A note reading 'No Data Centers' was found under his doormat. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, although Gibson's eight-year-old son was present at the time. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, with assistance from the FBI, is investigating the incident as isolated. The controversy stems from a proposed $500 million data center by Metrobloks, a Los Angeles-based startup, which has faced opposition from local neighborhood groups concerned about environmental and health risks. Despite the backlash, Gibson has defended the project as a potential economic boon for the area.
