City police are investigating the fatal shooting of a retired city firefighter Sunday in Marshall-Shadeland.

Mark Barry

Mark Barry, 55, was shot at Mullins Street and Ancy Way shortly after 10 p.m.

Officers arrived to find Mr. Barry lying in the street, guarded by his dog. He had been shot in the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

Police could provide no information about possible suspects or motive.

Mr. Barry's relatives had gathered yesterday at his home on nearby Plough Street, about a block from the shooting scene, but they declined to comment.

Mr. Barry had retired from the fire bureau in 2005 and had been working at Sam's Club on Mount Nebo Road in the North Hills.

The company said Mr. Barry was "a valued member of our Sam's Club family who was well-liked and respected by those who knew him."
