INDIANAPOLIS — Police are investigating a shooting that involved a police officer on the east side of Indianapolis Wednesday night.
An IMPD spokesperson said the incident happened in the 2900 block of Carnaby Street, which is near 30th Street and Post Road, just before 8 p.m.
Police say they had been conducting an investigation into violence involving firearms at the Briergate Apartments that led to a vehicle chase. The chase ended nearby at the Cheswick Village Apartments. According to police, three occupants of the vehicle got out of the car and ran.
IMPD said, at some point, at least one officer fired a weapon, but preliminary information shows that no one was struck by the gunfire. The officer who fired their weapon is on administrative leave, which is customary in cases involving officer-involved shootings.
One suspect was taken into custody and will be arrested on charges which will be determined at a later time.
Police recovered multiple firearms from the scene where the suspect was taken into custody.
One person is in custody in the case, police said, but it is not clear how many more suspects remain at large. "Multiple" firearms were found at that location, according to an IMPD spokesperson.
The department's Critical Incident Response Team is conducting a criminal investigation with the assistance of the Forensic Services Agency.
A separate administrative investigation is underway by internal affairs officers. The civilian-majority Use of Force Review Board will hold a hearing after the conclusion of the criminal investigation.
