LAWRENCE, Ind — Metro police are investigating after officers discovered a gunshot victim in a car at the end of a pursuit.
A Lawrence Police spokesperson told 13News that officers tried to stop a car near 42nd Street and Franklin Road on the northeast side just after midnight Wednesday. The driver of the car did not stop for police, and a pursuit ensued.
The chase ended a short time later on the city's north side at West 96th Street and Spring Mill Road.
When officers made contact with the occupants of the car, a person in the car told officers he had been shot in an incident he claimed happened earlier at 38th Street and Post Road. That person is receiving treatment for a wound to the leg and was in "stable" condition, according to IMPD.
No shots were fired — not by the officers or anyone in the pursued vehicle — during the pursuit.
IMPD is assuming the investigation since the original alleged incident happened at 38th & Post, in Metro’s jurisdiction.
