INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers have arrested a 38-year-old man for allegedly shooting five people at a bar early Saturday morning in Indianapolis.
The man returned the bar and began firing shots, striking five people, after he was involved in an earlier disturbance inside the Brotheman Tavern and was removed by security, IMPD said in a press release.
The man was preliminary charged on the suspicion of two counts of aggravated battery and three counts of felony battery.

A total of five people, three men and two women aged between 35-57, were injured in the shooting and are expected to survive, IMPD said. Two of the victims have been released from the hospital.
"The IMPD would also like to recognize the efforts of our partners at IndyGo, who dispatched a bus to assist in keeping witnesses out of the frigid temperatures while detectives conducted interviews," IMPD said. "In a chaotic scene where lives were on the line, IMPD officers utilized trauma kits provided by community partners and their knowledge obtained through first aid training to save lives while protecting the integrity of a crime scene."
Officers began to give first-aid to victims once they arrived on-scene, IMPD said. One officer applied a tourniquet to one of the victims.
