INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Police are still investigating several shootings that happened over July 4 weekend.
Police say arrests from an incident downtown near the canal have already been made.
“While it was unfortunate, we did make several arrests that evening, so we had some shots fired,” Downtown District Commander Phil Burton said.
Two women were shot at the canal early Monday. Burton says Indiana State Capitol Police assisted them, but ultimately, officers had a successful weekend downtown. IMPD showed an extra force to discourage violent gun crime.
“Fortunately for us, we took a lot of illegal guns off the street. We had a lot of different resources that come through the department,” Burton said.
