WISH-TV reported that an adolescent sustained an arm wound from gunfire amidst an armed holdup sequence on West Washington Street in Frankfort.
The incident took place at about 7:45 p.m. on Monday, bringing an immediate law enforcement response to the Clinton County location.
Police took a 19-year-old Frankfort man into custody within about 45 minutes, WISH-TV reported. The individual is currently confronting a half-dozen felony counts, which encompass attempted robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, aggravated battery, and battery by means of a deadly weapon.
The victim received medical treatment at a hospital in Lafayette and was subsequently released. Authorities have not released additional details as the investigation remains active in Clinton County.
Police Agencies Lead the Ongoing Inquiry into Allegations
The Frankfort Police Department is leading the ongoing inquiry with assistance from the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office and the Indiana State Police. Officials said that no further information would be made public at this stage.
The filed charges remain allegations, and the accused individual is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Beyond the criminal prosecution, injured parties in Indiana maintain the right to pursue a separate civil injury claim, depending on the available facts and evidence.
State law establishes specific boundaries for these civil actions. Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years under IC 34-11-2-4. For individuals under a legal disability, including minors, IC 34-11-6-1 generally pauses that limitations period until the disability is removed.
Indiana's comparative fault statute, IC 34-51-2-6, governs how responsibility is distributed. An injured person whose assigned fault exceeds 50 percent generally cannot recover damages, while any recovery is reduced proportionally by a lesser percentage of fault.
