What happened on North Bradley Street
Two men were critically injured in a shooting on the east side of Indianapolis on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, according to WISH-TV's report about the North Bradley Street shooting[1]. IMPD officers were called at 6:43 p.m. to the 400 block of North Bradley Street, between East Michigan Street and East New York Street.
WISH-TV reported that one man was taken to a hospital. A second man was found about 10 minutes later at Community East Hospital. Both men were reported in critical condition, and neighbors provided lifesaving aid.
Detectives believed both men were shot on Bradley Street but had not confirmed that detail. No suspects or arrests had been reported, the men had not been named, and the IMPD investigation remained ongoing.
What injured people and their families can do next
The first days after a violent incident can leave you with more questions than answers. Write down what you know while it is fresh, including times, locations, and the names of anyone who was present. Keep copies of hospital records, bills, and paperwork from police.
Ask the investigating agency how and when its reports can be requested. A police report can provide useful information, but it does not determine civil liability. You can also review guidance about preserving evidence for an Indiana injury claim and what to bring to an initial injury consultation.
Be careful about giving a recorded statement to an insurance company before you understand your options. Insurers may aggressively defend a claim or dispute how an injury happened. This guide explains what to consider when an insurance adjuster requests a recorded statement or medical release.
Why the Indianapolis location matters
The reported incident occurred in the 400 block of North Bradley Street in Indianapolis, in Marion County. A civil case arising there would ordinarily be filed in Marion County or where a defendant is located.
Indiana's general two-year limitations period for injury claims appears in Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. Under Indiana's modified comparative fault rule, Ind. Code 34-51-2-6, an injured person's recovery is reduced by that person's share of fault and barred if the share is more than 50 percent. These are general rules, and the facts of a particular case determine how they apply.
