INDIANAPOLIS — One person was shot and killed at a Texas Roadhouse on the south side of Indianapolis Friday night.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to 4335 E. Southport Crossing Drive, the address of Texas Roadhouse, on reports of a person shot just before 9 p.m.
Upon arrival, officers located an adult male victim suffering from a gunshot injury, and an off-duty IMPD officer holding the suspect at gunpoint.
