IMPD is investigating an officer-involved shooting in the 7000 block of Hackberry Court on Aug. 27, 2021.

INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD has identified the three officers involved in shooting a suspect on the south side of Indianapolis Aug. 27.

The officers are 19-year IMPD veteran Noel Gudat, three-year veteran Kyle Runnels and Daniel Beasley, who has been with the department for a year.

The suspect, 31-year-old Aung Aung, has been charged with attempted murder.

According to IMPD, officers responded to the Greentree Apartments near Stop 11 Road and Madison Avenue around 8:20 p.m. Friday on a report of shots fired.

Police said multiple people called 911 after Aung allegedly fired shots inside the apartment complex. He is said to have continued shooting after police arrived. 

Officers reportedly told Aung to drop his gun "numerous" times, to which they say he did not respond. When Aung reportedly fired at officers, three officers fired their weapons, hitting Aung three times.

Aung was taken to an Indianapolis hospital in serious condition. His condition was later downgraded to critical, but police said he had stabilized.

No officers were injured.

Police said it is still not known why Aung was shooting a gun in the apartment complex, but the officers were wearing body cameras that activated during the incident.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact IMPD Det. Erika Jones at 317-327-3475 or by email at Erika.Jones@indy.gov. Tips can be made anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 317-262-TIPS.
