INDIANAPOLIS – A 14-year-old was shot this morning on Wallace Lane near the intersection of E. Washington Street and Emerson Avenue on the city’s east side during a suspected break-in, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
IMPD responded to a call of a person shot shortly before 8 a.m. Friday morning. Upon arrival, they found the juvenile with a gunshot wound(s).

During an encounter, the residents shot one of the individuals, according to IMPD.
The department believes a second male fled the scene and detectives are attempting to identify that individual.
The second individual is a black male who may have injuries to his face and/or hands, according to IMPD.
