INDIANAPOLIS — A 9-year-old girl was injured in a shooting early Tuesday at a home on the city's northwest side, police say.
Officers found the girl wounded while responding about 6 a.m. to the 5300 block of Winterberry Drive, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
The girl was transported to a local hospital and with injuries believed to be non-life-threatening, police said.
