INDIANAPOLIS — One person was killed and three others were injured, including a 12-year-old boy, in a shooting on the near northeast side of Indianapolis Saturday evening. 

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said officers went to the area of E. 28th Street and Wheeler Street, which is east of N. Keystone Avenue, at around 9 p.m. on a report of a person shot. 

Responding officers arrived and found a man and a woman who had been shot. The man was pronounced dead at the scene and the woman was taken to the hospital to get treatment for multiple gunshot wounds. 

Police also found a 12-year-old boy not far from the scene who had been shot in the leg. He was taken to Riley Hospital for Children where he was listed in stable condition. 

A possible fourth person police believe was injured in the shooting walked into Community East Hospital around the same time with an injury to his eye. IMPD said his injuries were believed to have been sustained during the same incident. Police also noted the man's injuries were not immediately consistent with a gunshot wound but that has not been eliminated as a possibility. 

Authorities have not shared any of their identities.

Detectives are investigating the shooting. They believe the shooting possibly happened during a party in the area.
