ANDERSON, Ind. — Indiana State Police detectives are investigating after a Madison County deputy was involved in a shooting early Friday in Anderson.
According to ISP, Deputy Robert Lemon was patrolling an area near 5th and Jackson streets when he claims someone at the Jackson Mart gas station began firing in his direction.
The deputy got out of his car and fired at least one shot at the people at the gas station.
It was later learned that another car drove past the Jackson Mart and fired shots at the people at the pumps and then drove away. People at the pumps fired back at the car, according to Lemon.
Aundray Lamonte Ivy Jr., 20, was wounded during the gunfire. He was taken to a hospital, and treated and released. ISP said Ivy was one of those involved in the shooting at the gas pumps.
ISP is working to determine if Ivy was hit by a bullet fired by someone in the car that drove past or by the deputy.
Lemon is a four-year veteran with the Madison County Sheriff's Department. He was not injured in the shooting.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Detective Tony Klettheimer at either 1-800-527-4752 or 765-778-2121.
