GUILFOYLE FOUND GUILTY BUT MENTALLY ILL

(Brookville, IN)--A Franklin County man has been found guilty but mentally ill after shooting his wife and a deputy more than two years ago.  Three days before Christmas of 2022, Gregory Guilfoyle shot his wife in the head and then left his home on foot in a snowstorm, carrying his young daughter in his arms.  When a deputy intervened, Guilfoyle shot the deputy and struck him in the protective vest.  Guilfoyle was also shot when the deputy returned fire.  The trial ran all of last week.  In Indiana, guilty but mentally ill carries the same sentencing as any other conviction.  Treatment can be provided, but it does not lessen the sentencing.  He faces between 20 and 40 years behind bars when sentenced in about a month.
