Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard postpones speech, asks for prayers

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard Tuesday announced he will postpone the State of the City address following this weekend’s shooting of IMPD officer David Moore.

"I believe in the power of prayer and I would ask the people of this city to use the time that I was going to speak tomorrow night to pray, attend blood drives or volunteer in support of Officer David Moore, his family and his extended IMPD family," Ballard said.

Ballard’s office said the mayor would reschedule the speech in the coming weeks.
