Suspect shot by Indianapolis police

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A suspect in a Thursday morning shooting on the city’s northeast side was shot by police near Crown Hill Cemetery, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department confirmed.

Around 7:20 a.m., IMPD officers found a woman shot on North Ritter Avenue near the intersection of 46th Street and Arlington Avenue.

The woman was taken to a hospital in critical condition, according to IMPD Public Information Officer Tommy Thompson.

Investigators at the scene identified a suspect and his vehicle and sent the information out to officers across the city, Thompson says.

Around 8 a.m., IMPD North District officers found the suspect’s vehicle in the area of 30th and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. streets.

A “short vehicle pursuit took place,” during which the suspect is “believed to have fired shots at officers,” Thompson said.

The chase ended near the intersection of West 32nd and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. streets opposite Crown Hill Cemetery. That’s where at least one IMPD officer shot and wounded the suspect, Thompson says.

The suspect, whose name was not shared by police, was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

No officers were injured.

IMPD says there will be a heavy police presence in the area where the police shooting took place. Community members are asked to avoid the area.
