Three people were shot when gunfire erupted during an attempted robbery in Evansville. WNIN’s John Gibson has details:
It happened late Saturday night in the 2800 block of Lodge Avenue.
Evansville Police Sgt. Anthony Aussicker says two of the wounded victims called 9-1-1 while en route to a hospital.
Aussicker says officers arrived at the hospital and found the two males being treated for gunshot wounds -- one of them with life-threatening injuries.
Police say they had arranged a meeting on Lodge Ave. and were approached by two males who tried to rob them.
During the attempted robbery, the two victims were shot.
At least one of them returned fire before leaving for the hospital.
Police then found a third victim on Lodge, described as a male juvenile.
He was taken to the hospital and is being monitored by law enforcement while receiving medical care.
The EPD says detectives later identified another juvenile involved in the shooting and he was arrested, and booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail.
There’s no word on the names of the people involved.
