INDIANAPOLIS — There have been 14 officer-involved shootings so far this year. 10 of them happened within the last three months.
During the arrest attempt, IMPD accuses Davis of fighting with the officer, disarming him and shooting him.IMPD Chief Randal Taylor says the officer received a graze wound and has since been released from the hospital. "We've not seen anything like this for a while. It's not that Indianapolis hasn't had more shootings in the past. In 2015, we had 20 but that's not a record you want to break or get close to," said Taylor.Taylor says the common denominator in most cases has been armed suspects mixed with the refusal to obey officer commands.
WRTV checked with other police agencies across the country to see how many officer-involved shootings there have been this year.
