INDIANAPOLIS — An early morning shooting adjacent to the downtown Indianapolis Canal has nearby residents concerned.
“During the day, and the canal is everything that you wished it would be, it's just a fantastic place,” shared canal area resident Daniel Urdziel. “Sometimes at night, it's just not what you want.”According to IMPD, Upon arrival officers located a male victim who had been shot. He was transported to a nearby hospital and IMPD says he is in stable condition.“Just waking up in the middle of the night to gunshots, it’s no fun,” Daniel Urdziel explained.
Urdziel isn’t alone. Sarah Williams enjoys walking along the canal most days but she no longer walks the trail after dusk. “I don't honestly walk the canal at night once it hits dark,” Sarah explained."I don't personally know, anybody who's gotten mugged or anything like that, but I know it happens frequently enough that it's just not a smart thing to do.”“As we get into our summer months there are more people walking on a canal,” shared IMPD Officer William Young. “Our officers will do everything that we can to be a presence per se.
