A person was injured early Wednesday morning in an incident involving a projectile on Indianapolis' south side. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police arrived at the scene around 1:45 a.m. in the 5600 block of S. State Avenue following a call that was initially about a reported stabbing, as noted by FOX59.
Upon their arrival, officers discovered that the individual had been shot by a projectile. Details surrounding the incident are scant, but authorities are investigating whether the shooting was an intentional act or an unfortunate accident. Significantly, the use of a firearm has been ruled out in this peculiar case, according to the report from CBS4.
The condition of the victim has not been fully disclosed, but they were reported to be "awake and breathing" at the scene. The lack of information about their injuries has raised concern among community members seeking answers and reassurance, according to FOX59.
As the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police continue their investigation, the circumstances leading to the incident remain unclear.
