State police are asking for the public's help in the weekend case of a naked gunman in Gibson City who allegedly wounded two officers.

Troopers said they hope area residents and businesses have relevant video footage from the time of the incident about 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning.

State police continue to search for 70-year-old David Jordan who is wanted in connection with the Ford County incident.

A Ford County Sheriff's deputy and a Gibson City police officer were wounded as they attempted to contact Jordan. State police said the deputy and officer did not fire their weapons.

Troopers said Jordan should be considered armed and dangerous and are asking the public to not approach him, but instead call 911.
