Late Tuesday, gunshot detection technology assisted IMPD officers on the east side in responding to a shootout on Hamilton Avenue that left damage to at least six homes on the street.

Officers were dispatched to the area after being alerted of gunfire by gunshot detection technology. The new technology to Indy is being used in a 3-mile portion of the east side as part of a pilot program.

When officers got to the scene on, they found multiple shell casings in the road and later discovered at least six homes were shot at random. Major Mike Leeper told WRTV, this is yet another instance where the gunshot detection technology helped them out. "Just a short period of time ago, our officers were able to get on the scene of a person shot only a couple of blocks from this location and rendered medical aid that resulted in that individual surviving,” Leeper said. “The technology is proving to be worth its wait.”This is an ongoing investigation.
