INDIANA — A 12-year-old boy died early Friday morning in what police believe was an accidental shooting at a home on Dunshire Drive.
Officers with the Cumberland Metropolitan Police Department responded to the 11500 block of Dunshire Drive shortly after 1:00 a.m. and found the child suffering from a gunshot wound.
He was transported to a nearby hospital in the Indianapolis area, but later died from his injuries.
According to CMPD, preliminary findings suggest the shooting was accidental and involved a firearm that was easily accessible to multiple juveniles inside the home.
