INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indianapolis police officer fatally shot a suspect in an armed carjacking Tuesday after the suspect dropped something while fleeing on foot and reached to pick it up, police said.
Officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department were dispatched to the city’s east side just before 9 a.m. about a carjacking. A female victim told officers that a suspect had approached her car at gunpoint and demanded the vehicle and other items.
She told police additional suspects had remained in their vehicle while the carjacking took place and that all the suspects then fled in her car and their vehicle.
After a description of both vehicles was broadcast to officers, one officer located the two vehicles and encountered a male suspect, telling him to “get on the ground,” police said in a statement.
The suspect instead began running away toward the suspects’ gray sedan while the officer commanded the suspect to “drop the gun,” police said.
