INDIANAPOLIS — One person has been arrested after an officer-involved shooting injured three people early Saturday morning on the east side of Indianapolis.
On Oct. 15, police said they arrested a 31-year-old man for his alleged role in the incident. He was arrested on preliminary charges of battery with a deadly weapon and pointing a firearm.
NOTE: 13News does not identify a suspect until they have been formally charged by prosecutors.
The shooting happened just before 2 a.m. Oct. 14 on the 10000 block of East Washington Street, near North Mitthoefer Road, after shots were allegedly fired by a suspect during a "disturbance" at Bubbaz Bar & Grill.
IMPD said the officer, later identified as 17-year veteran Roman Ervin-Williams, was off-duty while working security at the Bubbaz during the incident. Ervin-Williams was attempting to diffuse the situation near the entrance when shots were fired inside the business.
According to court documents, the officer had his bodycam activated. It allegedly showed people start running after a man exited the building. Police said the bodycam shows the suspect with a black object in his right hand, and the suspect starts to raise that hand. That's when bodycam video shows the officer firing his gun at the suspect.
Police claim the gun the suspect had fell to the ground and another person picked it up and walked off with it.
According to IMPD, a man inside the bar who was shot took himself to a hospital in critical condition. Police also said the suspect who was shot was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
Another woman was found somewhere else but said she was injured in this shooting. Her condition is said to be stable.
No officers or other uninvolved people were injured in the shooting.
This is an ongoing investigation, and IMPD said there is no danger to the community.
