IMPD releases video of police shooting at east side bar from March
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Released body cam footage from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department on Thursday shows events leading up to a mass shooting at an east side bar where a man died, an Indianapolis police officer, and four other people were injured in March.
The body cam footage shows the fatal shooting that took place on March 14.
IMPD says two of its officers were working off-duty in uniform at the 11:11 Bar and Grille, a location previously listed online as ‘Fuzion Ultra Lounge,’ at 9449 E. Washington St. around 1:30 a.m.
