Indianapolis, Indiana — After firing shots downtown, a previously convicted felon who shouldn’t have had a gun is headed to federal prison.
A 30-year-old, Tyrone Ross, has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for possession of a firearm while being a felon.
This took place in May of 2020. Ross was on federal property in front of the Birch Bayh Federal Courthouse, according to court documents. He pulled out a pistol and proceeded to fire multiple shots across Ohio Street and in front of the federal courthouse.
There were numerous pedestrians and vehicles at that time.
“This sentence should serve as a warning to others who illegally possess a firearm and choose to violate federal law and endanger others in the process,” says FBI Indianapolis Special Agent Herbert J. Stapleton.
Three years after his sentence, the judge of the case ordered Ross be on probation.
