Shots fired at Indianapolis Kroger; 16-year-old arrested

INDIANAPOLIS - A 16-year-old was arrested after shots were fired at an Indianapolis Kroger Sunday afternoon.




A public police report indicates police were called to the Kroger located at 425 W. 16th St. around 2 p.m. to investigate a shooting. During their investigation, police arrested a 16-year-old male on preliminary charges of dangerous possession of a firearm by a minor and possession of marijuana, which are Class A and Class B misdemeanors, respectively.




One victim is listed in IMPD's report on the incident - a male. Police's report does not indicate that the victim was shot. The report does not provide any information on the victim's age either.




After the shooting, police collected marijuana, ammunition, a firearm magazine and a semi-automatic Taurus Brazil G3C pistol as evidence.




In a statement, Kroger indicated that it was forced to temporarily close its store on 16th Street after the shooting.




"The safety of our associates and customers is our top priority, so we are troubled by this senseless violence, and we are relieved no one was injured," a Kroger spokesperson wrote in a prepared statement. "The store is closed for the moment while we repair damaged glass. The Kroger Asset Protection team is at the store assisting IMPD with its investigation of the incident. We'll provide updates on the case as new information becomes available."
