Overview
- Police responded to a 911 disturbance on the east side of Indianapolis and were met with gunfire, leaving two Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers wounded.
- Investigators say responding officers returned fire, the suspect was hit, taken to a hospital, and later pronounced dead; police identified him as 21-year-old Dalys Scott Kohl Jett.
- Both injured officers were taken to Eskenazi Hospital and are in stable condition, and one officer’s vest likely reduced the severity of wounds.
- Authorities recovered a handgun at the scene, confirmed officers’ body-worn cameras were recording, and at least three officers fired during the exchange.
- The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, IMPD Internal Affairs and the Critical Incident Response Team are investigating the shooting and the officers who fired have been placed on standard administrative leave, a step that will shape any criminal or departmental findings.
