Now in my 8th year of writing this local news blog here in Fishers, I strive to provide my readers with all the important news in and around Fishers.  I must admit, as a volunteer doing this blog as a one-man-band, I miss a few stories.

Lately, with news of the recent city council meeting, community meeting about the State Road 37 construction to come and news about the Nickel Plate Trail, it has been a busy week for this blogger.

But, I must admit, there is a story I missed this week.  I am embarrassed to tell you that I did miss this important public safety story.  I am late on getting you all the facts about the great goose attack at the Wal-Mart parking lot on 96th Street.

For full disclosure, I did see the initial Police Department’s Facebook post about the attack and I do believe one must take this sort of thing seriously.  A goose can get very territorial and if you do not know you are near a nest, the goose will attack and people can be injured.

I suppose its a bit of a surprise to me that so much media in the Indy area picked-up this story so quickly.  I guess there are fewer stories to cover in the metro area.

But, here it is.  You see the goose picture below provided on Facebook by Fishers Police.  I may be late to the party on this story, but it least it is here now!
