According to WISH TV – The sounds of gunshots sent police scrambling to the heart of downtown around 3:30 Thursday afternoon. Several officers could be seen with guns drawn near the intersection of Meridian and Washington streets just a block south of Monument Circle.
Police had shut down Meridian Street from the Circle south to Maryland. At this time, Meridian street has re-open with Police officers patroling the area.
Officers believe what they are investigating is a suicide. They say they have the situation under control, but officers are still on guard.
A witness at the scene tells 24-Hour News 8 that a man fired several shots from an upper level of a parking garage and then shot himself before falling about 30 feet to the ground. The man’s body is believed to have landed at the southwest quadrant of the Meridian/Washington intersection.
Workers inside state Republican headquarters tell 24-Hour News 8 they heard four shots fired outside the building and then a pause of about 30 seconds, and a fifth shot.
