Among the six — including Novotny — injured, a 19-year-old male was shot in the back and transported to IU Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, where he underwent emergency surgery. None of the other wounded people suffered life-threatening injuries, according to authorities.
In the court document, the 19-year-old told police that he was in a grass field near the intersection when Novotny approached and started patting him down before shooting him in the back. Police believe Novotny was trying to rob the 19-year-old.
After he was wounded, the 19-year-old pulled out a gun and fired several rounds at Novotny. He later told police that he believed one of the rounds he fired hit Novotny.
The probable cause affidavit said officers saw Novotny run toward a car wash, where officers stopped him and ordered him to drop the handgun he was carrying.
