A 29-year-old man was shot from a vehicle at Ridgewood Apartments in the 2700 block of Ridgewood Drive in Elkhart, according to ABC57[1]. The outlet reported that a 911 call came in at about 3:24 p.m. on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
ABC57, WNDU[2], and 95.3 MNC[3] reported that the shooting happened Tuesday. WSBT[4] reported it as Monday, November 9.
According to ABC57, Elkhart Fire medics provided life-saving care before the man was taken to a local hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. No suspect has been named, and no arrests have been reported. The Elkhart Police Department is investigating.
What injured people should do next
If you are hurt in a shooting, focus on medical care first. Keep records of your treatment, bills, and missed work, along with the police case number and any letters from the prosecutor's office. Indiana's crime victim compensation program may help with some costs.
Be careful about giving a recorded statement to an insurance company before you understand your options. A broader guide to handling an insurer's request for a statement or medical release is available in the firm's article about insurance adjuster requests after an Indiana injury. You can also organize police records, medical bills, insurance documents, and wage information before a first personal injury consultation.
Why location matters in an Indiana injury claim
This shooting happened at an apartment complex on Ridgewood Drive in Elkhart, in Elkhart County. A civil case is usually filed in the county where the injury happened or where a defendant lives.
Whether a property owner can be responsible for a crime on its property depends on specific facts, including whether a similar crime was foreseeable. No source has reported a security problem at this complex, and this article does not suggest that the property owner is at fault. The firm's guide to negligent security claims in Indiana explains why foreseeability and the available evidence matter.
Indiana divides fault among those involved under Indiana Code 34-51-2-6[5]. An injured person whose own fault is greater than 50 percent generally cannot recover under the Comparative Fault Act. Otherwise, recovery is reduced by that person's percentage of fault. Most injury claims must be filed within two years under Indiana Code 34-11-2-4[6].
