IMPD: Arrest Made After Possible Shots Fired at Officers

Update: Three people have been taken into custody after police said someone fired shots during a pursuit with officers.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said officers assisted the Carmel and Plainfield Police Departments with investigating multiple vehicle break-ins and gun thefts.

IMPD arrested one person connected to the investigation during a traffic stop. The other two suspects were later caught and arrested after trying to run from police.

According to IMPD, one of the suspects fired at least one shot, but it’s still unclear if it was in the direction of officers. No shots were fired by police at any point.
