Man shot by police during disturbance on Indy’s north side; no officers hurt

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis police are investigating after a man was shot by officers at a north side apartment complex Wednesday morning.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were asked to do a welfare check just before 11:30 a.m. in the 7800 block of River Road. That’s a residential area off 79th Street, just east of North Keystone Avenue.

“Once officers arrived on scene, they encountered a disturbance inside a residence involving a female, which then led to an officer-involved shooting,” IMPD Public Information Officer Drew Brown said at the scene.

The man involved in the disturbance was hit by gunfire. He was later transported to a local hospital in stable condition, according to Brown.

No officers were injured and the woman involved in the disturbance was not hurt.

Investigators will remain at the scene throughout the afternoon to collect evidence and interview witnesses.

No other information was immediately available.

River Road is closed for investigation between North Keystone Avenue and East 79th Street. Drivers should use an alternate route.
