Suspect injured in police shooting near North Kealing Avenue

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is investigating a police shooting on the city’s east side Sunday.

Around 1:30 p.m. Sunday, IMPD officers were dispatched to the intersection of East 11th Street and North Kealing Avenue to respond to a separate incident when a woman ran from her vehicle and approached an officer. She told officers someone held her at gunpoint.

Shortly after, the police exchanged gunfire with the suspect. The suspect was hit by gunfire. No officers were injured. The suspect was transported to an area hospital in unknown condition.

Investigators believe this was an isolated incident and said there is no immediate threat to the community.

A witness told News 8 he heard the officers yell, “Drop that gun!” before two shots were fired.

IMPD did not immediately release any additional information.
