What was reported
A woman was shot in a liquor store parking lot in the 2200 block of North Illinois Street, at 22nd Street, north of downtown Indianapolis, at about 5:49 p.m. on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, according to WISH-TV's report[1].
WISH-TV reported that Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers found the woman with gunshot wounds. She was taken to a hospital in stable condition.

What should an injured person do next?
If you are hurt in a shooting, focus first on medical care and your immediate safety. Keep copies of your medical records, bills, and the police case number. Indiana's crime victims compensation program may help with some costs.
If the shooting happened on business property, write down what you remember about lighting, security, and any earlier problems at the location. Preserve photographs, messages, and witness information. Video can be overwritten, so the steps discussed in this guide to preserving business-surveillance video may be useful.
Why the location matters in an Indiana injury claim
This shooting happened in a parking lot in the 2200 block of North Illinois Street in Indianapolis, in Marion County. A civil case would usually be filed in the county where the injury happened or where a defendant lives or does business.
In some cases, Indiana law allows a person hurt on business property to bring a claim against a property owner if security problems were foreseeable. That depends on facts that have not been reported here. No source has suggested that the business or property owner is responsible. You can read more about how these claims are evaluated in the firm's guide to negligent security in Indiana.
Indiana divides fault among those involved under Ind. Code 34-51-2-6. Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. Because evidence can disappear quickly, it may help to organize the records described in this overview of evidence used in Indiana injury claims.
