ORIGINAL STORY:
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (ADAMS) – The Fort Wayne Police Department says that an adult and a child are recovering after being shot Wednesday morning. Police say one person is in custody.
Officers were called to Chartwell Drive close to South Anthony just after 7 a.m. after a caller reported that an adult and child were shot. They located the adult outside but it took a search of the apartments at the scene to find the child.
The FWPD says one person was detained. Their identity and what led up to the shootings are still not known.
The following was released to the media:
The Fort Wayne Police Department responded to reports of a shooting at 1900 Chartwell Dr. at roughly 7:11AM today. Initial reports stipulated that an adult male and a juvenile were shot and that the suspect was still on scene. Upon arrival officers located the adult male victim outside, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Officers moved him to safety, rendered aid, until TRAA made the scene to transport him to a local hospital in non-life threatening condition.
There were reports of a child that had been shot and was possibly still in an apartment. Officers cleared the apartment that the victim lived in and did not locate an injured child. Officers loud hailed over the PA system for the occupants of the adjacent apartment to exit, but no one exited. Having credible information that an injured child was in that apartment, officers made entry; located the injured child and the suspect. The child was rendered aid and was transported by TRAA in non-life threatening condition. The suspect was placed in custody and transported to the police station to be interviewed by detectives.
This incident remains under investigation by the Fort Wayne Police Department and the Allen County Prosecutor’s Office.
