INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is actively investigating the scene of a deadly shooting on Saturday evening.
According to IMPD, officers responded to the report of a person shot at a Family Dollar, located at the 6000 block of Michigan Road, just after 5:30 p.m.
Officers arrived at the scene and found a victim, described as an adult male, suffering from gunshot wounds inside the doorway of the front entrance of the store.
The man was pronounced deceased at the scene, despite life-saving efforts performed by EMS.
The victim's identity and age have not yet been released by IMPD.

At this time, it is unclear how many suspects are involved.
"Violence has interrupted what would've been a beautiful Saturday here in Indianapolis," Officer Drew Brown of IMPD said at the scene. "Another neighborhood hurting, another family is grieving."
