INDIANAPOLIS — A 17-year-old has been arrested for a shooting that wounded two juveniles at an east Indianapolis park Saturday.
Shortly after 8:30 p.m., officers responded to Willard Park in the 1900 block of East Washington Street, east of South State Avenue, on a report of a person shot. Police found two juvenile victims who had apparently been shot.
Both were taken to Methodist Hospital and listed in stable condition, IMPD told 13News.
Aggravated assault detectives responded to the scene to begin an investigation.
Investigators believe the shooting may have been accidental and that one of the injuries might have been self-inflicted.
The teenager who was arrested is facing preliminary charges of criminal recklessness, dangerous possession of a firearm and false informing. Final charges, if any, will be determined by the Marion County Prosecutor's Office.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact IMPD Detective Daniel Hyatt at 317-327-3475. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.
