Official Release
Jefferson County, Indiana — The Jefferson County Indiana Sheriff's Office is currently investigating a shooting that occurred Saturday, June 28, 2025. At approximately 7:58 AM, Jefferson County Central Dispatch received a 911 call reporting a male subject had sustained a gunshot wound.

Officers from the City of Madison Police Department, Deputies with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, and Troopers from the Indiana State Police promptly responded to the scene.

Upon arrival, Deputies located an adult male victim in the front yard of a residence. The victim appeared to have sustained a single gunshot wound.

Deputies rendered immediate medical aid before the victim was transported to Norton King’s Daughters’ Hospital in Madison, Indiana. He was later airlifted to the University of Louisville Hospital for further treatment. His condition is not being released currently.

The homeowner briefly barricaded herself inside the home and did not come outside the home as directed by officers on scene. After a brief conversation with the homeowner and Deputies on scene, she exited her home and was detained by officers without incident.

As part of the ongoing investigation, the homeowner, Cara Ross, is currently in custody and facing preliminary charges of Criminal Recklessness with a Firearm. No further details will be released at this stage in order to preserve the integrity of the investigation.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is committed to conducting a thorough and impartial investigation. We remain focused on gathering all pertinent facts and evidence before any final determinations are made.

Sheriff Flint and the entire Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office extend sincere thanks to the following agencies for their cooperation and support during this incident:

City of Madison Police Department
Indiana State Police
Jefferson County Prosecutor’s Office
Jefferson County Animal Control
Jefferson County Central Dispatch
Norton King’s Daughters’ Health EMS

Under the law, criminal charges are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty in the court of law.

Sheriff,
Benjamin Flint
