Two people are dead following an hours-long standoff at the Woods of Britton Apartments, near 141st Street and State Road 37, based on a news release issued by the Fishers Police Department.

According to my news gathering partner, The Hamilton County Reporter, Hamilton County Coroner John Chalfin identified the two as Derrick Upshaw, 49, and Tiffany Plummer, 34.

Around 2:30pm Monday afternoon Fishers Police Officers were called to conduct a welfare check at the apartment unit located at the 13900 block of Ashlake Lane .  As officers approached the apartment building, police say a suspect began shooting from a second-floor apartment. Officers immediately took cover and secured the area.

Emergency Response Teams and Negotiators responded. Attempts to establish communication with the suspect were unsuccessful. Emergency Response Team members made entry to the apartment. Once inside, officers located the two bodies, both suffered injuries believed to be from a firearm. Both died at the scene.
