INDIANAPOLIS — One person was hurt in a shooting near the Statehouse Tuesday night, Indiana State Capitol Police said.
Police were called to the scene just before 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at 10 N. Senate Ave.
Capitol Police Sgt. Robert Johnson said an officer on patrol was approached by a witness who informed him of a man on the street who appeared to have been shot in his lower leg.
The officer found the man and began rendering aid before other officers and medical personnel arrived on the scene, Johnson said.
The man was taken to Eskenazi Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Johnson said the incident was still under investigation, and did not give details on a possible suspect, but he did say there was no ongoing threat to the public.
