Gunfire broke the quiet on Indianapolis’ far east side Saturday night after an officer-involved shooting in the 10900 block of East 10th Street near North German Church Road, according to police. Officers remained on scene into the evening, with only limited information released as investigators combed through the area.
According to WTHR, IMPD posted on social media that “IMPD officers are on scene of an incident in the 10900 block of E 10th Street. There was an officer-involved shooting. No officers were injured.” The department said no additional details were immediately available as the situation remained under investigation.
Scene And Response
In its social media update, IMPD also designated the northeast corner of East 10th Street and North German Church Road as the media staging area and noted that detectives and crime-scene personnel were working the scene, according to IMPD’s X account. Neighbors reported a heavy police presence in the area late Saturday while investigators documented evidence and secured the surroundings.
Investigation Underway
Officer-involved shootings in Indianapolis are typically reviewed by IMPD’s Critical Incident Response Team and can also draw in the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office. Earlier local reporting has outlined that officers who fire their weapons are usually subject to both criminal and internal administrative reviews; WRTV has previously detailed those steps in past cases.
Anyone with information about Saturday’s incident is asked to contact Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-TIPS (8477), WTHR reports. This story will be updated as IMPD or prosecutors release additional details.
