Another Indianapolis police district office hit with gunfire

None

INDIANAPOLIS- Gunfire has struck an Indianapolis police department district office, and officials said Friday that investigators believe whoever is behind this attack also shot at another city police district office this month.

 

No one was injured in either shooting, the latest of which happened about 11:00pm Thursday at the North District Headquarters.

 

"This person is extremely violent," Police Chief Troy Riggs told reporters early Friday. "It's someone that we need to be vigilant in trying to capture quickly."

 

After the first shooting, Riggs had said it may have been in response to a recent crackdown on drugs that included arresting suspected drug dealers and taking more than $3 million in narcotics off the street. Department spokesman Sgt. Kendale Adams said Friday that remains a possible trigger, but with no one in custody related to the shootings it can't be stated definitively.

  

On Thursday night, police say officers inside the building heard shots and took cover before trying to find a suspect. Some windows and walls were damaged, and a vehicle in a parking lot was struck by gunfire. Witnesses reported hearing a vehicle speed away afterward.
