INDIANAPOLIS — One person was arrested after two people were shot in downtown Indianapolis Thursday evening.

The incident happened at about 9:15 p.m. just north of Washington Street on North Pennsylvania, in the center of the business district.

Police said an argument over money left over from buying alcohol broke out in front of a liquor store on North Pennsylvania. Detectives are working to determine if the second shooting was a robbery or retaliation.

One man was shot and critically wounded, another suffered what police described as serious wounds.

A person was arrested and preliminarily charged with possession of a firearm, an IMPD detective said.

The Marion County Prosecutor's Office will review the case and determine if there is probable cause to file charges.

The location is in the center of the business district—a short walk from Monument Circle and just two blocks from IMPD headquarters.

Police quickly blocked off Pennsylvania Street north of the crime scene.
