A Metro Police officer is in custody for allegedly shooting a fellow officer at a south Indianapolis home.
The shooting happened shortly after 9 p.m. on Valley Brook Way, which is near Southport and Emerson.
Police say an IMPD detective was investigating a domestic violence allegation between an 18-year department veteran and his estranged wife. Police say the officer came back to the residence while the detective was speaking with the wife and opened fire.
The detective was struck by at least one gunshot and returned fire, but did not hit the suspect, who fled. The detective was taken to the hospital in good condition with non-life-threatening injuries.
The unnamed officer fled the scene and made his way to Cincinnati, where he was reported to be in his personal vehicle on the Brent Spence Bridge with a gun shortly after 12:30 a.m. Traffic was stopped for more than an hour as police investigated, eventually taking the officer into custody.
