NOBLESVILLE, Ind. — A Noblesville woman is facing multiple felony charges after a road rage incident escalated into a shooting Monday evening.
According to a release from the Noblesville Police Department, around 9:15 p.m. on April 15, officers responded to the 1200 block of Brady Lane, near Boden Road and Greenfield Avenue, on reports of a disturbance and shots fired.
Officers arrived and found a man suffering from a gunshot wound, as well as a woman who appeared, according to officers, to be the shooter.
