What was reported
Two juveniles were hurt when shots were fired from a passing vehicle in the 1600 block of North Warman Avenue on the west side of Indianapolis just before 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, 2026, according to WISH-TV[1].
WISH-TV reported that both juveniles were taken to a local hospital in stable condition. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department did not release their names or ages. WISH-TV reported no suspects or arrests, and WRTV shared the report[2].
Who fired the shots and why has not been determined. The investigation is ongoing.
What injured families should do next
When a child or teen is hurt by another person's actions, medical care comes first. Keep records of treatment, bills, and any school or activities missed. You can also ask the investigating police agency how to obtain its report. A police report can document the investigation, but it does not decide civil responsibility. This guide explains more about obtaining an Indiana police report.
Families can ask about Indiana's crime victim compensation program. They should also be careful about giving recorded statements to an insurance company before they understand their options. Insurance companies may aggressively defend disputed claims, so accurate records and preserved evidence matter. Delventhal Law Office's guide to recorded statements and medical releases explains common concerns.
Why the location and deadlines matter
The shooting happened on North Warman Avenue in Indianapolis, in Marion County, and IMPD is investigating. A civil case is usually filed in the county where the injury happened or where a defendant lives or does business. Who may be responsible depends on facts that have not been reported here. Nothing in this report suggests that a property owner or business is at fault.
Indiana divides fault among those involved under Ind. Code 34-51-2-6. A person whose fault is greater than 50 percent cannot recover; otherwise, recovery is reduced by that person's percentage of fault. You can read a plain-language explanation of Indiana's comparative-fault rule.
Most injury claims must be filed within two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. When the injured person is under 18, Ind. Code 34-11-6-1 can extend that deadline. Families should not wait to get advice because evidence can be lost and other deadlines may depend on the facts. The firm's guide to Indiana injury claim deadlines provides additional general information.
