INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — An off-duty Indianapolis police officer shot an armed robbery suspect early Sunday morning, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said.

The off-duty officer was working at a nightclub parking lot in the 3800 block of Georgetown Road just before 2 a.m. when he reported hearing shots fired at the south end of the parking lot.

According to IMPD, the officer drove to the scene where he found a person shot and an armed suspect. He got out of his vehicle and told the suspect he was a police officer before the suspect began to flee.

The officer, who is a six-year veteran with IMPD, shot the suspect. The male suspect continued to run to the north end of the parking lot where he was apprehended by the officer, IMPD said.

First aid was rendered to the robbery suspect until medics arrived to the scene, IMPD said.

The suspect in the robbery was critically injured. The victim of the armed robbery was also taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition, IMPD said.

The officer has been placed on administrative duty as a criminal investigation and parallel internal investigation is completed, as standard procedure, IMPD said.
