INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis detectives hope to identify the people involved in a weekend gunfight downtown, where about a hundred rounds were fired indiscriminately.
The shootout happened at Meridian and Georgia streets with the area packed with people and Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers.
The gunfire exchange also happened right under the eye of a Metro Police camera mounted on a pole at the intersection.
For the past 12 years, Metro Officer Loren Eltzroth has been assigned to the IMPD Downtown District. Eltzroth has worked in the bike and foot patrol unit downtown which helps keep police visible and ready to respond. During daytime bike patrols he meets a lot of people.
