INDIANAPOLIS — Two people, including an 11-year-old boy, were wounded after someone shot at a house from the outside Monday morning on the east side of Indianapolis, police said.
Officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department responded to the shooting just after 6 a.m. in the 900 block of North Beville Avenue near East 10th Street.
IMPD Officer Samone Burris said an 11-year-old boy and an 18-year-old woman were shot. Medics transported both to the hospital in stable condition.
Burris said shots were fired from the outside into the home.
Police do not know if the shooting was random or targeted, Burris said.
"It is imperative that we get justice for the 11-year-old boy and the young adult that were injured in the shooting," Burris said.
IMPD has not provided information about a possible suspect.
WRTV spoke to AJ Steele, who lives in the neighborhood with his children.
"It makes me feel sad and scared. These kids haven’t even had a chance to get old yet. There has to be a better way," Steele said.
Steele knows all too well the effects gun violence has on people. He says he works hard to serve as a mentor for kids in the area.
"It's hard to watch because you don’t want anybody to get hurt — and bullets do hurt. And it takes a long time to recover from bullets, and it's hard to see. I try to talk to young kids the best that I can," Steele said.
