Fight leads to shooting in southern Indiana, police say

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Jeffersonville police are investigating after a shooting Saturday night.

In a social media post, the Jeffersonville Police Department said officers responded to the 1400 block of Gateway Plaza just before 7:30 p.m. on a disturbance.

Witnesses told officers that a fight led to a shooting and everyone involved fled before police arrived.

According to police, one person is being treated for a gunshot wound. The severity of their injuries is unknown at this time. That person is still receiving treatment.

The owner of a nearby tattoo shop told WDRB the shooting happened in the parking lot of a bar off 10th Street. The shop also captured surveillance footage of the incident and gave it to police.

The owner didn't want to share the video publicly, but did let WDRB watch it. It shows people in the parking lot and at least one gun visible. It also shows the chaos as everyone runs away and leaves the scene.

Jeffersonville City Council representative Evan Stoner said the person shot is a young man, an exact age has not been confirmed.

"What I've put out is that we should all be thinking about this family, we should all be praying for this young person who is in a very challenging time in his life right now and that's what I'm seeing from the community, us coming together and offering our prayers in this moment," Stoner said.

Police said contact was made with known parties involved, but did not release more details.
