What was reported
One person was shot near Applegate Lane and Lewis & Clark Parkway in Clarksville at about 11:13 p.m. on Sunday, October 18, 2026, according to WDRB/WAVE[1]. The person was taken to a local hospital. The victim's condition has not been released.
In a related incident, police say a second person, who was not involved in the first shooting, was shot at while driving on Lewis & Clark Parkway.
On Friday, October 30, 2026, the Clarksville Police Department arrested Markis Allen, 18, and a 17-year-old whose name has not been released. Both are charged with attempted murder and criminal recklessness. These are allegations only, and both defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Additional details were not released, and the investigation is ongoing.
What an injured person can do next
If you were hurt by another person's violent or reckless act, get medical care first and follow the treatment plan. Keep medical bills, records of missed work, and any police report or case number. If a vehicle was struck, photographs of the damage can also matter. The firm's guide to evidence in an Indiana injury claim explains why careful documentation is useful.
The prosecutor handles the criminal case. A civil injury claim is separate and does not depend on the criminal case's outcome. If insurance questions arise because you were injured while driving, you may also want to review how uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage can apply, depending on the policy and facts.
Why the Clarksville location matters
These incidents happened in Clarksville, in Clark County, and the Clarksville Police Department is investigating. A civil lawsuit is usually filed in the county where the injury happened or where a defendant lives.
Most Indiana personal injury claims must be filed within two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. Indiana also assigns fault among the people involved under Ind. Code 34-51-2-6. A person found more than 50 percent at fault cannot recover; otherwise, any recovery is reduced by that person's percentage of fault. Where a driver was injured on the road, that driver's own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage under Ind. Code 27-7-5-2 may be worth asking an insurance agent about.
