The suspect, identified as 19-year-old Tyreik Buckner, of Fishers, was arrested Monday and is facing several charges, including attempted murder.
Police were initially called May 5 around 7:30 a.m. to the Flats of Fishers Marketplace at 9588 Ambleside Dr. on reports of gunfire.
Officers used K9s and a drone to search for the suspect and later determined the area was safe after they found no one had been injured at the apartment complex.
Several schools and day cares were placed on “heightened alert” during the investigation.

Hamilton Southeastern Schools to Offer 100% Virtual Option
In an effort to retain students who learn better from home or have COVID-related health concerns, Hamilton Southeastern Schools in Indiana is preparing two virtual-only options for the coming school year.
April 29, 2021 •
Shutterstock/wutzkohphoto (TNS) Students in Hamilton Southeastern Schools will continue to have a choice of 100-percent virtual education next school year. But the format won t be the same as it is this year.
Aiming to help students who have medical concerns, either for themselves or those they live with, due to COVID-19, the district created the new program. Virtual-only students will have to commit for at least a semester and will not be able to participate in extra curriculars or sports unless there is a virtual option.
