IMPD is investigating a police shooting that happened after a suspect allegedly hit an officer with a car in downtown Indianapolis Thursday afternoon. • • Around 4 p.m. Nov. 14, officers went to check on a report of an unresponsive person inside a car in a drive-thru in the 1500 block of North Meridian Street, near 16th Street. Employees told officers that they were unable to get the driver to respond. • • When officers arrived, they reportedly knocked on the window several times, shined a flashlight at the driver and activated their lights and sirens, but were unable to get the driver's attention. • • Police say after four minutes, the adult male driver opened his window and began to talk with one of the responding officers. The officer reportedly told the man to unlock the car and put it in park. The man unlocked the car, and an officer opened the passenger door to ask the man if he was OK. • • The man reportedly then got out of the vehicle and did not listen to the officers' questions as they checked on his welfare. The man then got back into his car while the driver's side door was still open. An officer then grabbed the man's arm and told him to get out of the car. • • At that point, the suspect reversed the vehicle, pinning the officer in between the vehicle and the wall, striking the officer with the driver side door, IMPD Deputy Chief Michael Wolley said. • • The officer that was not struck then opened fire, striking the driver once. • • MORE: https://www.wthr.com/article/news/cri...
