FRANKLIN, Ind. (WISH) — A police shooting happened Tuesday afternoon in this Johnson County city, and an automated dispatch system for neighboring Marion County gave an address for the Mitsubishi Turbocharger and Engine America Inc. plant.
The call of a person shot was dispatched just after 1:35 p.m. Tuesday to 1200 N. Mitsubishi Parkway. That’s north of the I-65 interchange for State Road 44 on the east side of the city of Franklin.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department says its officers are on the scene of a police shooting, and no officers were hurt. IMPD also said Indiana State Police will handle the investigation.
IMPD did not say if anyone was shot or injured.
Also, authorities have not yet publicly shared whether the shooting happened inside or around the Mitsubishi plant. However, photos from the scene showed police gathering outside a shipping area for the plant.
A spokesperson for state police had not yet arrived at the scene as of 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
As of the first quarter of 2025, the Mitsubishi Turbocharger and Engine America plant employed about 85 people, according to a March memorandum of the Franklin Economic Development Commission. It’s about a half-hour drive south of downtown Indianapolis.
Franklin is the Johnson County seat, with about 26,100 residents.
News 8 has reached out to Mitsubishi headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee, for comment.
