"Conflict resolution, we've been talking about that for quite some time," IMPD Lt. Vincent Stewart said at the scene. "Not picking up a handgun to resolve conflict; definitely a nice day, kids are out. It's a shame, it's disappointing, we expect better. Unfortunately, these are the times that we are in. But these are the times also that you need to look out for your neighbor."
IMPD encourages those with additional information on the incident to contact Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at (317) 262-8477.
