A police shootout in Fountain Square Sunday night left an officer and a suspect injured.

Indianapolis police said they are searching for a suspect who shot and wounded two men Saturday inside a Jewish community center in an apparent dispute connected to a basketball game.

In December, the Marion County prosecutor’s office agreed to drop their death penalty request in exchange for the judge, instead of a jury, hearing the case.

The department, which has more than 1,290 officers equipped with body cameras, said its decision to implement fees for requesting videos followed a year of data collection and costs evaluation.

According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, officers responded to the 4400 block of College Avenue at about 7 p.m. Tuesday on a report of a person shot.
