Crop duster shot while flying over Boone County

DOVER, Ind. (WISH) — Details shared publicly were few, but the Boone County Sheriff’s Office revealed Wednesday that a crop duster was shot Friday.

In a news release, the office said the crop duster was shot between 6-7 p.m. Friday near the intersection of state roads 32 and 75. That’s in the western Boone County unincorporated community of Dover, about a 40-minute drive northwest of downtown Indianapolis.
