A man is fighting for his life following a shooting that unfolded on the east side of Indianapolis this morning. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) officers quickly responded to reports of a person shot just after 8 a.m. in the vicinity of the 6000 block of Windsor Drive, near 21st Street and Arlington Avenue, as WTHR reported.
The injured man was discovered by arriving officers and transported to the hospital in a critical state. Tragically, the situation took a dire turn, and FOX59 confirmed that before 1 p.m., the man succumbed to his injuries after being admitted to an area hospital.
Details surrounding the incident are scarce. The officers found the victim in a hallway with at least one gunshot wound, leading to immediate medical attention at the scene and his subsequent transfer to a local hospital in critical condition, according to WISH-TV. The circumstances that precipitated this act of violence remain unclear, with no additional information immediately made available by the authorities.
IMPD has not released any suspect information, nor have they disclosed whether any arrests have been made in connection with the shooting. The man, who was found by officers shot, has not been publicly identified, pending notification of his family.
