2 injured in northeast Indianapolis stabbing

Both people who were stabbed were taken to the hospital in stable condition, IMPD said.

INDIANAPOLIS — Two people were injured in a stabbing Saturday on the northeast side of Indianapolis.

Police were called to the 7200 block of Eastwick Lane, near the intersection of East 71st Street and Shadeland Avenue, just before 7:30 p.m.

Russ Yurk said he knew something was wrong when he saw police lights shining through his front window and crime scene tape around his neighbor's home.

"Alarmed and concerned. It's a very quiet neighborhood. We've got great neighbors. We hope everything's OK next door," said Yurk.

But inside that home, police said two people, a man and a woman, were injured in a stabbing. Both were taken to the hospital in stable condition.

Yurk was shocked at the violence.

"They're very good neighbors, friendly. We see each other working in the yard. They're very quiet. They're empty nesters. Typically, not a lot of activity over there," said Yurk.

Now, as the community continues to wait for answers about what happened, they're moving forward the best way they know how.

"Just looking out for each other. I think taking care of each other is one of the important things. You just never know. Life is precious and short." said Yurk.

Detectives are investigating the stabbing. So far, they haven't shared information about a motive or the suspect(s).
