A person was shot at a troubled motel on the east side of Indianapolis Tuesday evening. According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, officers were called to the Budget 8 Inn to investigate a shooting. When police arrived at the scene, they located a victim with injuries consistent with gunshot wounds.

IMPD initially indicated that the victim was in stable condition. Police later confirmed that the victim’s condition was reported to be critical sometime after medics took him to a local hospital. Investigators believe the shooting occurred in room No. 259 inside the Budget 8 Inn.

Law enforcement has suggested that the shooting was the result of some sort of argument that had broken out inside the motel room. For that reason, police do not believe the shooting poses any active or ongoing threat to the community. It is currently unclear if IMPD has identified or detained any suspects or persons of interest at this point in its investigation of the shooting.

Investigators are encouraging those with information on the shooting to call IMPD at (317) 327-3475 or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at (317) 262-8477. The owner of the Budget 8 Inn had installed 40 surveillance cameras around the property to try to curb the violence the motel has seen.
