Police shoot woman on north side during attempted arrest

More by this author

An Indianapolis police officer shot a woman late Sept. 29 during an attempted arrest at 1900 Covey Lane. Police said the woman was armed with a handgun but could not immediately elaborate.

The woman was shot once and taken to a hospital, where she was most recently listed in stable condition.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were tracking the woman shortly before 10:30 p.m., police said. She was a suspect in a shots-fired incident into a vehicle and home, and she had two active warrants, police said. One warrant was for armed robbery, and the other was for charges including domestic battery, intimidation and carrying a handgun without a license with a prior conviction.

Officers located the woman around 8000 Silverleaf Drive, and a uniformed officer attempted to arrest her.

ā€œDuring the encounter one officer fired his service weapon at the female, striking the female,ā€ police said in an update. ā€œThe female was armed with a handgun.ā€

Police said the officer who shot the woman had a body camera. The officer is on administrative leave, which is standard procedure.

The IMPD Critical Incident Response Team will conduct a criminal investigation with assistance from the Indianapolis-Marion County Forensic Services Agency. IMPDā€™s Internal Affairs will conduct an administrative investigation.

Officers can invoke their 5th Amendment right to not give a statement to criminal investigators, but they are compelled as part of their employment to give a statement to Internal Affairs.

The civilian-majority Use of Force Review Board will review the incident after the criminal investigation.
