INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — One suspect is dead and police are looking for multiple others following a police involved shooting on the city’s northeast side Sunday night.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said the shooting happened just after 11:00 pm. They said officers noticed a car near East 30th Street and North Chester Avenue that matched the description of a vehicle that had been carjacked. Police say the carjacking happened in the 3100 block of Thompkins Square Court earlier that evening.
Officers say the suspects inside the car were seen shooting at people when they stole the car.
Investigators say officers first followed the car at a safe distance. The car turned down a dead end near 34th and Butler Avenue, and that’s when they say the driver accelerated and tried to do a U-turn. Officers then attempted to stop the car, when the driver rammed a police vehicle on the driver’s side. Multiple passengers then exited the car and ran westbound.
Police say the driver refused to exit the vehicle and almost hit an officer with the car. They said the suspect began turning the wheel of the car toward the officers and accelerated. At that time officers fired their weapons at the driver, according to IMPD.
They say the suspect then got out of the car armed with a gun and collapsed by the driver’s side door. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
IMPD is still looking for the other passengers.
A spokesperson said three officers were involved. They are believed to be veterans of the department.
The officers involved will be placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. This is a standard IMPD procedure following a police involved shooting.
Officials say if you have any information on the passengers who ran from the scene, call Crime Stoppers at 262-TIPS.
s/b “Alleged suspect” /s
You learn from your mistakes. I’m sure they boy won’t try that again. Oh, and by the way, all the others in the car should be charged in his death (as accomplices)
I remember when rap-inspired carjackings were frighteningly popping up all over in the early 1990’s.
Behavior may be due to his head injury.

While our so-called dear leader says nothing, does nothing to dispel this crap. IMO, is hoping to create an all-out total riot across the entire country, blacks against whites. As we read more and more stories coming from the “very unbiased media”, it is becoming quite clear, there IS an agenda in all this as odumbo plots and plans for his third term as “dear leader”. He wants a race riot and it is getting closer and closer to happening every day.
“TRUMAN WARNS JAPAN: QUIT OR BE DESTROYED”.....
We need a new president like Truman who comes out directly and states to those who are rioting because of Michael Brown’s own stupidity, “Quit of be destroyed”. Makes sense to me.
There’s a definite effort to destroy the traditional peace, morals, business climate, etc. in the country.
Astonishing.

Behavior may be due to the feral nature of the fatherless welfare society. Fixed
Was his name Dindu? Dindu Nuffin?
“Turning his life around”
!!!!!
That is the #1 sound bite in every one of these stories, alongside “He was raised by his grandmother...”
And remember, it’s all our fault!
Was he an aspiring rapper?
But wasn’t that statement from his grandmother, because there was no mother there to care for him.
All he needed was some midnight basketball to keep him out of trouble.
While I’m not a big fan of police shootings, it appears that this is one they should get a medal for. The court system would have just turned him loose on society again, and in this instance they probably stopped several future murders, dozens of armed robberies, and hundreds of burglaries, etc.
