Teen hurt after Martinsville shooting MARTINSVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — A teenager was in surgery at an Indianapolis hospital after he was shot during a fight among juveniles Tuesday evening near the historic mineral water sanitarium in Martinsville, police said. Officer Aubrey Rachels of the Mar tinsville Police Department told News 8 by phone about 8 p.m. Tuesday that the teen, who is from 13-16 years old, was seriously injured in the shooting just before 5:30 p.m. Tuesday and taken by helicopter to Riley Hospital for Children. Later, in a news conference just after 9 p.m. Tuesday, Rachels said the teenager injured was from age 13-18. She also said the teenager was stable at the hospital. Investigators were talking to a possible suspect and witnesses, all who are juveniles, Rachels said. No arrests had been made as of 9 p.m. Tuesday. Photos showed crime scene tape in the 400 block of North Mulberry Street, just a block west of North Main Street near the Morgan House Apartments, and a block east of the historic Martinsville Sanitarium. The shooting was believed to have been targeted, and no threat to the community at large exists, Rachels said. A teenager was seriously injured April 7, 2026, in a shooting in Martinsville, Indiana.
