11 People Shot In Eight Hours Throughout Indy Overnight
INDIANAPOLIS — On the same night that Indy city leaders approved more money to be used to fight violent crime, 11 people were shot in a matter of hours.
Between 7:00 p.m. Monday and 4:00 a.m. Tuesday those 11 people were shot, three of them fatally.
Before 9:00, police were called to shootings near North Harding Street and Edgemont Avenue on the near northwest side and along Keswick Road just north of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Police were then called to two people shot in separate incidents in a neighborhood near 38th Street and High School Road on the west side shortly before and after 9:00 p.m. About an hour and a half later another person was shot along South East Street on the south side at Hanna Ave.
They are stable at the hospital.
Four of the eight who were shot overnight were in one incident at around 1:30 early Tuesday morning in Lawrence near 42nd and Franklin Road. All four are critical.
Then two more people were found shot to death a little further south near Franklin Road and I-70 an hour and a half later. IMPD says this appears to be a murder-suicide as a man and woman were both found dead in a home. The victims have been identified as Davidtra Henderson and Dorrell Paterson. Police believe Paterson shot Henderson and then took his own life.
“When things like this in our community happen, people don’t sleep,” said IMPD Ofc. Simone Burris. “These cases have to be solved. We have to bring our community justice for what has taken place, and the lives that are lost, and the people affected by these incidents.”
So far IMPD is not saying anything about any suspects in any of the shootings.
