INDIANAPOLIS — Police are investigating after a woman was shot in the chest outside of a Kroger store on the west side of Indianapolis Wednesday.
According to IMPD, officers responded to a report of a person shot in the 5100 block of W. Washington Street. When they arrived there were no victims, but they shortly thereafter learned a person with a gunshot wound arrived at IU Health West Hospital.
