INDIANAPOLIS — A 21-year-old has been arrested on two counts of attempted murder for his involvement in a double shooting on Indy's east side Saturday.

According to IMPD, officers responded to the shooting in the 6100 block of East 21st Street and found an adult woman and a 10-month-old baby boy with gunshot wounds.

The woman was taken to a local hospital in stable condition and the baby was transported in critical condition. The baby was later upgraded to stable condition, according to preliminary court documents.

Preliminary court documents allege the woman was shot at by a man she broke up with earlier in the day. The man came home with a gun and after a verbal altercation, he shot at the woman as she was breastfeeding.

The woman was shot in the shoulder and the baby was shot in the abdomen.

Two other children inside the house were uninjured and taken into DCS custody, according to court documents.

Police later arrested the 21-year-old suspect. He is preliminary charged with two counts of attempted murder.
