INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) — It took nearly three hours for IMPD SWAT negotiators to convince a shooting suspect to come out without any trouble Monday night.
When he did, the man police believed at one point to be armed, came out on a stretcher, unharmed, but headed for the hospital.
That was the scene in the 7800 block of Marquis Lane around 7:30 p.m.
The peaceful ending had begun hours earlier in a standoff with IMPD's SWAT team after police got a call for shots fired.
"Officers were met by a person on the sidewalk who had an apparent gunshot wound to his body," explained IMPD Ofc. Genae Cook. "At that point, he advised the officer that he was shot by his friend and that his friend was still inside the residence at the time."
Police were still investigating what led to the shooting.
The victim died Friday at St. Vincent Hospital.
