Indianapolis officer, suspect shot in exchange of gunfire

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Police say an Indianapolis police officer was shot and seriously wounded and a suspect was critically wounded in a shootout after officers responded to an automobile crash. Police said Monday that the officer was hospitalized in serious but stable condition following the Sunday night shooting, while the male suspect was later upgraded from critical to serious condition. Police say two officers were dispatched about 10 p.m. to the scene of a reported accident where dispatchers were told that a male was exposing himself and that a male in a red vehicle was “acting strange.” Police say the shootout occurred after witnesses directed officers to the red vehicle.
