INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A woman died in a shooting Thursday night at an apartment complex on the east side, police say.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department was called just before 7:25 p.m. Thursday to a disturbance, a person with a firearm, and a person shot in the 1400 block of South Bancroft Street. That’s in the Rowney Terrace Apartments northwest of the intersection of Southeastern Avenue and South Emerson Avenue.
