INDIANAPOLIS — A child is expected to recover after being shot following an armed robbery on the northwest side of Indianapolis Sunday evening.
Officers responded to Eskenazi Hospital for a report of a walk-in person shot Aug. 18.
Around 6:15 p.m., IMPD told 13News a man arrived at the hospital with a child who had been shot near the Planet Fitness on West 38th Street, near Moller Road.
It's unclear how old the child is, but officers said the child's condition is "stable."
