EARLIER:
An off-duty Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer shot an IMPD detective Friday night who was investigating a report of domestic violence involving the off-duty officer and his estranged wife, and then he fled to Ohio.
The wounded detective, a veteran of the department, police said, was shot at least once in the elbow, and possibly a second time in his side.
He is expected to survive his injuries.
The shooting, police said, stemmed from an investigation into the off-duty IMPD officer, who was involved in "some type of domestic incident" Friday with his estranged wife in an apartment near Emerson Avenue and Southport Road on the southeast side.
