Man shot, shows up at hospital in critical condition
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A 25-year-old man was critically injured in a shooting on the west side Thursday night.
The investigation began when police were called to Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital around 9:15 p.m. Thursday on a report of a walk-in person shot.
Officer Jim Gillespie with Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department confirmed the shooting occurred in the 1400 block of King Avenue — that’s just south of West 16th Street and east of North Holmes Avenue — and that victim remained at Eskenazi in critical condition.
As of early Friday, Gillespie reported the victim was undergoing surgery and had not been stabilized.
A police report filed by responding officers listed five witnesses during the early stages of the investigation. IMPD would not say whether detectives were actively seeking a shooter or if those witnesses were cooperating.
According to the report, the victim was shot outside a house and driven to the hospital.
No other information was immediately available.
