Terre Haute Police Officer Robert ’Rob’ Pitts, 45, was fatally shot on May 4, 2018, while participating in a homicide investigation. Officers traced a suspect to the Garden Quarters Apartments; as they approached, 21-year-old Christopher Wolfe opened fire. Pitts was struck and taken to Terre Haute Regional Hospital, where he died. Other officers returned fire. Wolfe later barricaded himself in an apartment and was found dead inside after a special response team entered; an autopsy determined Wolfe died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Investigators concluded one of Wolfe’s four shots fatally wounded Officer Pitts. Two officers who fired were cleared, the prosecutor describing their actions as self-defense. Wolfe’s girlfriend initially told police he was unarmed but later admitted she knew he had a weapon and was charged in connection with the incident.

Does anyone have additional information about Officer Pitts, his service, or the events at Garden Quarters Apartments on May 4, 2018?
