INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD is investigating after five people walked into two different hospitals with gunshot wounds early Sunday morning.
According to police, officers responded to the 2900 block of Dr. Martin Luther King Street around 1 a.m. Sept. 10 on a report of shots fired in the area. Officers did not locate any victims during the initial response.
