JOHNSON COUNTY, Ind. — Police in Johnson County are investigating after a person was seriously injured in a shooting Saturday afternoon.

Shortly after 4 p.m. Aug. 19, Johnson County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to the 1200 block of Wood Creek Drive, near West County Line Road and County Road 400 West, for a report of a person shot.

One person was listed in "serious but stable" condition when taken to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, the sheriff's office said in a statement. 

Monday afternoon, the sheriff's office said the victim has been released from the hospital.

One person of interest was taken into custody and transported to the sheriff's office. That man was arrested on a separate charge for an outstanding warrant for failure to appear on an original charge of domestic battery.

The domestic battery allegedly happened May 23 at the same location as the shooting.

The sheriff's office said the man is being held at the Johnson County Jail on no bond.
