IMPD investigating report of shots fired near Pike Township Library

Police said the incident began just before 4 p.m. in the 6600 block of Zionsville Road.

INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis police are investigating reports of shots fired Monday near a northwest side public library.

Around 4 p.m., dispatchers got reports of the sound of gunfire near the Pike branch of the Indianapolis Public Library.

IMPD officers, along with Pike Township School Police, entered the library immediately but did not locate a suspect inside.

A short time later, police found two people and detained them as "persons of interest" in the incident. An IMPD spokesperson said their role in the case, if any, has yet to be determined.

A preliminary investigation suggests a disturbance preceded the gunfire. Detectives said it does not appear to have been a random act and believe there is no immediate threat to people in the area.

No one was injured.
