INDIANAPOLIS — A woman is dead and a man is in critical condition following a domestic disturbance on Indy's northeast side early Monday.
According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, officers were initially dispatched to the 7100 block of Kingswood Court for a possible home invasion robbery around 2 a.m. However, when officers arrived they learned the incident was an isolated domestic disturbance.
Officers learned that an adult male suspect had barricaded himself inside the residence with two women. SWAT was then called to the scene to begin negotiations with the man.
Hours later, police said one of the women was able to escape the residence. Police then learned shots were fired inside, prompting SWAT to enter.
Police found the man and a woman with gunshot injuries. Both were transported to the hospital in critical condition, but unfortunately, the woman later died.
Detectives believe that the man received his injuries from a self-inflicted gunshot.
The surviving woman was later transported to the hospital for checkout.
At this time, homicide detectives have responded to begin an investigation. Anyone with information about this incident should call Detective Christopher Winter at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317.327.3475 or e-mail the detective at Christopher.Winter@indy.gov.
