IMPD: 1 hurt in shooting near Crown Hill Cemetery
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — One person was shot in the leg during an attempted robbery Tuesday morning near Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis police said.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were called just before 5 a.m. to a possible person shot in the 3100 block of Ethel Avenue. That’s a residential area near 30th Street and I-65, just south of Crown Hill Cemetery on Indy’s near northwest side.
The man told investigators he was approached by a person with a gun while walking near a gas station, officers at the scene told News 8.
