INDIANAPOLIS -- A shooting suspect was nowhere to be found after a standoff with police on Indianapolis' north side Monday morning.

The incident began when a person was shot near the intersection of Pennwood Drive and Evanston Avenue. He was shot in the leg and was alert when taken to a hospital.

A few minutes later, police thought they found a suspect inside a house a couple blocks away, near the intersection of Pennwood Drive and Rosslyn Avenue.

Police outside were yelling, "Come outside right now, this is the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department!"

Officers entered the house several hours later but the suspect was not inside.
