Investigators said three people followed a couple out of the grocery store along Wesley Chapel Road and into the parking lot.

But that group didn’t count on the would-be victims being armed.
There was an exchange of gunfire, but police said two of those who were shot were the alleged suspects. Police identified those people as Andrew Banks , 23, and Austin Harris, 18. . . .

It happened Sunday in the 1300 block of Walnut Hall at the Lynnfield Place Apartments.
The couple told police they were unloading groceries when two suspects jumped from a Toyota Camry and rushed them. The first suspect held a gun to the wife’s head as the second rummaged through the man’s pockets. That second man’s gun was pointed at the husband’s stomach, police said.
“All of the sudden when we walked towards our door, two guys ran up behind us here and they told us to drop everything,” said the man, who wanted to be identified only as “Cadillac.”
“I was just worried about my wife and my unborn child. She’s due in two weeks.”
A neighbor, who is in the National Guard, saw the incident in progress and took action. Authorities said he grabbed his own gun and charged the suspects, causing the first suspect to take off running.
“He hopped out with his gun and told him to drop it.” . . .
Despite being ordered to drop his gun, the suspect pointed the weapon at the good Samaritan and returned the gunfire. . . .

. . . According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, a woman behind the wheel of a vehicle intentionally struck two people near 30th Street and Winton Avenue Thursday morning. This started at a family gathering that lasted into the early morning hours. Around 5:20 a.m., a fight broke out.
The woman, who police said was intoxicated, then tried to hit a third person. That individual managed to avoid the car, but he slipped and fell. He then opened fire on the vehicle, telling police he feared for his life.
The shots hit the vehicle but no one else was hit. Police found the driver down the street at a local bar and detained her after they said she ran from the scene.
