Mayor Pete Buttigieg joined Joshua Short and Tricia Sloma on 16 Morning News Wednesday to discuss Sunday’s officer-involved shooting in South Bend, protocol for officers and body cameras and the swearing-in ceremony for new police officers.

“The community is a family,” Buttigieg said. “No matter what the details are, the legalities of it are, a member of this family has died at the hands of another member of this family. As mayor, I need to be here not only to help handle that, but also to make sure we’re going through the right steps as a community looking forward to come together to look at what we can do to prevent incidents in the future.”

“Making sure that Mr. Logan’s family is supported is very important to us right now,” the mayor told Tricia Sloma in response to her question asking if he has spoken with Logan’s family.

I imagine that was the case for a lot of people, and so it’s extremely frustrating that we don’t have, apparently, footage of the moment when this happened.”

On Tuesday, Buttigieg asked South Bend Police Chief Scott Ruszkowski to issue the following general order:
