3 shot outside gas station
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and medics was called to a report of a person shot and an incomplete 911 call just seconds after midnight Saturday outside a gas station at 922 N. Delaware St. That’s in a downtown commercial district a few blocks south of the I-65 overpass. A man with gunshot wounds was taken to a hospital in critical condition, but died shortly after arrival.
Police a short time later learned two other people had been shot at the same location. One person had showed up at the Indianapolis Fire Department Headquarters, at 955 Fort Wayne Ave., and the other person had walked into Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital for care. Both were initially listed in critical condition. An IMPD news release did not give their genders.
IMPD believes the shooting in the 900 block of Delaware Street was an isolated incident. Police provided no additional information on the shooting Sunday afternoon.
