View Comments City leaders Thursday morning were once again left searching for answers to Indianapolis' unprecedented spike in violence after yet another shooting. This time, a 12-year-old boy was left in critical condition when he was hit by a bullet fired from the street as he sat in his grandmother's home playing video games with family shortly after 3:30 a.m. “This cannot be the lived experience of families in our city — anywhere in our city," Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett said during a press conference outside the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department's East District Headquarters on Thursday. Law enforcement officials believe the shooting in the 3400 block of Leland Avenue on the northeast side of the city was a drive-by. Officials said they were "not sure" whether the house was targeted in the shooting but said no suspects have been taken into custody.
