INDIANAPOLIS–A boy was shot in Indianapolis Friday afternoon on I-465.

IMPD said the child was shot in the hip while riding in an SUV that was traveling on I-465 westbound near Emerson Avenue. The SUV also collided with another car after the shooting.

Police say the boy was taken to a hospital and is recovering. There was another baby in the car, but that baby was not hurt.

A person of interest has been detained and everyone involved is accounted for.

 “At this time, we do have a person of interest in custody, but, again, it’s a very complex investigation, with several scenes right now. We have the scene of the shooting, the crash scene. We have people at the hospitals. We have a lot of information that we’re trying to gather. We don’t have a lot of answers to the questions right now, but we’re working through that as fast as we can,” said Indiana State Police Sergeant John Perrine.
