Detective Greg Ferency, 53, a 30-year veteran of the Terre Haute Police Department who also served as a federal task force officer with the FBI, was ambushed and killed on July 7, 2021, outside the FBI Resident Agency building in Terre Haute. Ferency exited the building and was confronted and shot by Meehan. Ferency returned fire; an FBI special agent also engaged Meehan. Meehan was shot twice, later drove away, and was taken into custody at a local hospital where he sought treatment for his wounds.

Investigators searched Meehan’s truck and found a handgun, three more Molotov cocktails, and additional ammunition. Meehan was federally indicted on charges including murder of a federal officer, attempted arson of federal property, and using a firearm during a crime of violence causing death. Meehan’s attorneys pointed to a long history of mental health problems; a motive has not been established.
