INDIANAPOLIS– A man died in an officer-involved shooting on the northeast side Thursday morning.
“Early this morning around 9:40 am, an IMPD North District officer conducted a traffic stop in the 3400 block of North Parker. As the officer was speaking to the driver, the driver fled on foot with a gun in his hand. The officer ran after him and discharged his duty weapon striking the suspect at least twice,” said IMPD Deputy Chief Michael Wolley in a Thursday afternoon press briefing.
Wolley said medical personnel got to the scene and tried to save the man. He was taken to a hospital where he later died.
“The officer had his body worn camera activated during this incident and that will be a part of the investigation. We also did discover some narcotics on scene,” said Wolley.
No officers were injured. Other than the suspect, no one else was injured.
The officer has been placed on administrative leave, which is standard for these types of shooting investigations.
