MUNCIE — The Muncie police chief says God was looking down on two officers wounded in an exchange of gunfire with a robbery suspect who was killed near the Ball State University campus.

The Delaware County coroner on Saturday identified the man slain in Friday's shooting at a convenience store parking lot as 21-year-old Christopher Bowen of New Castle, Pa.

Coroner Scott Hahn tells The Star Press that Bowen had told a woman mentoring him in Pennsylvania that he was enrolling at Ball State, but a school spokesman says he wasn't a current student.

The newspaper reports Officer Steve Baugh was shot in the lower face and hospitalized in stable condition, while Officer Brent Brown was treated after a bullet was stopped by his police vest.
