Marion: 2 Arrested for Attempted Murder After Shots Fired at Officers

On 9/22/25 at 0020 hours, Marion Police Officers were speaking with witnesses while investigating an Assault and Aggravated Burglary in the 140 block of N. Grand Avenue. While standing on the front porch of a neighboring home to the original incident location, a vehicle drove past the residence and fired multiple shots at two police officers and four other persons who were standing on the front porch.
