3 people shot in residential area on near-southeast side

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Three people were shot Monday afternoon in a residential area on the city’s near-southeast side, police say.

Officer William Young, an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department spokesman, says the three people shot were awake and breathing. No additional information about the people shot was immediately available. Young did not know if the people shot owned the home or were construction workers.

Suspects were being sought, Young says, although he did not know how many. No additional information was immediately provided on the suspects.

IMPD and medics were called to a report of a person shot just before 2:15 p.m. Monday to the 1000 block of Churchman Avenue. That’s northwest of the intersection of Prospect Street and South Keystone Avenue.
