Boy and man shot in Cumberland, several people detained at scene

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A minor and a man were both shot Saturday night at a townhome community on the city’s far-east side, Cumberland police said.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and the Cumberland Police Department were called just after 9:40 p.m. Saturday to the 400 block of Woodlark Drive. That’s at the Knoll Ridge Townhomes off U.S. 40/East Washington Street about a half mile east of German Church Road. It’s across U.S. 40 from a shopping area with a Meijer department store.

Responding officers found two people wounded in the shooting, a boy who is stable and a man in serious but stable condition, at the same location. Police have not said how old the boy is.

“We believe that the shooting incident occurred on East New York Street (which is the north edge of the apartment complex) between two different parties,” Cumberland Police Department Detective-Sergeant Mark Waggoner said.

Several people have been detained, however police have not said what role they played in incident.

Investigators are still trying to figure out what was the motivation behind the shooting.
