One person was shot in the head, and three others were struck by vehicles during a Northside incident Sunday afternoon.
Officers responded to reports of gunfire about 4:30 p.m. at the Creekwood Apartments near the corner of Westlane Road and Manchester Drive, said Officer Rafael Diaz of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
They found a victim with a gunshot wound to the head and three other people who had been struck by vehicles attempting to flee the scene, he said.
The gunshot victim was in stable condition at St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital, Diaz said. Two people hit by vehicles were also transported to St. Vincent, one with a serious leg injury and the other in critical condition, he said. The fourth injured person declined medical treatment.
The circumstances of the shooting weren't immediately clear, but at least three vehicles appeared to be involved in crashes in the apartment complex's parking lots. One vehicle was a badly damaged SUV with what appeared to be several bullet holes in the front windshield. Shell casings were scattered across the parking lot.
Residents at the scene told The Indianapolis Star they heard at least 10 gunshots.
Police have not released the identities of any suspects.
The apartment complex has become a familiar scene for disturbances. Residents said another man was shot there in July. The complex also was the scene of a six-hour SWAT team standoff in 2013 with a 25-year-old man wanted on charges of aggravated assault, dealing cocaine and firearms violations. The man ultimately surrendered.
