At approximately 4 a.m., Indiana State Police received a call from someone who stated he had been involved in a road rage incident that had resulted in a shooting on westbound I-80/94, according to a spokesperson for ISP.
The original caller stopped their vehicle on I-65 near 61st Ave. Troopers responded to both the crash scene and to the caller’s location, the spokesperson said.
