IMPD investigates rash of shootings Sunday morning

Detectives were busy with four shootings in the overnight hours of Sunday morning that sent five people to Indianapolis hospitals.

INDIANAPOLIS — At least six people were reported shot in Indianapolis between 1:30 and 7 a.m. Sunday morning. Four of those victims showed up at local hospitals on their own. 

Investigators have not shared the identities of any of the victims.

None of the victims were reported to be in critical condition and Aggravated Assault detectives have been assigned to all five cases, but no information about potential suspects has been shared.

Hospital walk-ins

Police were called to IU Health-Methodist Hospital around 3:30 a.m. when two gunshot victims walked in on their own. Detectives are now investigating where the two male victims were shot.

Two other shooting victims came to St. Francis Hospital on the south side after separate shooting incidents.

Police are investigating an apparent shotgun discharge at around 1:45 a.m. that sent a male victim to the emergency room. He was in stable condition, according to police. Investigators report this incident happened on Boggs Creek Drive, just across Interstate 65 from the hospital.

Other shootings

Another shooting at a strip mall housing a pub and gas station on South Girls School Road sent another patient to St. Francis. Police said the victim walked in around 2:20 a.m., but they had no information on her condition, and were checking to see if anybody else may have been injured in that incident.

A man, reportedly shot at a gas station across the street from Community East Hospital at 16th Street and Ritter Avenue just before 7 a.m., called police from two miles away, at 21st Street and Shadeland Avenue. Police said he was in stable condition when they met up with him, but they didn't consider him a gunshot victim after discovering that he had been injured by a pellet gun.

The first shooting of the morning was called in around 1:30 a.m. at 10th and Rural streets. The man police found shot at that location was described to be in stable condition.

Anybody with information about these incidents should call Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-TIPS.
