This video was created in the days following the incident with the intention of increasing public understanding of what occurred. However, following the incident, criminal charges were filed against Michael Hendricks under cause number 49D 32504 MR 01 0949. The ongoing criminal case prevented the release of certain evidence, including this video, while the case was pending. Now that the criminal case is completed, IMPD is releasing the following video. Warning, the following video contains graphic images and language. It is not suitable for all viewers. At about 3:05 p.m., Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Southeast District officers responded to the 1300 block of Riley Place on a report of a person shot. Arriving officers located 48-year-old David Dodie outside a residence who had been shot. Mr. Dodie was transported to the hospital in critical condition. Inside the residence, officers located a second man who had also been shot. That victim, 48-year-old James Magcguire, was pronounced deceased at the scene by a paramedic. While on scene, witnesses provided officers with a description of the shooter and his direction of travel. That suspect was later identified as 50-year-old Michael Hendris. While officers were searching for Mr. Hendrickx. Multiple community members pointed toward the intersection of Prospect Street and South Emerson Avenue where Mr. Hendrickx was walking. Officer Tikin exited his patrol car and gave Mr. Hendrick's commands to show me your hands and get your hands out of your pocket. Mr. Hendrickx continued to reach in his pockets and began to run away with his body partially turned away from Officer Taken. Mr. Hendrickx raised a firearm and pointed it at Officer Taken. Officer Taken discharged his service weapon. As officer Tikkin radioed in for the latest description of Mr. Hendrickx, two community members pointed to Mr. Hendris, who was near the intersection of Prospect Street and Emerson Avenue. [Music] Yep. Got him right here. Prospect everything. >> Hey, show me your hand. Get your hand out. [Music] The following is a portion of the previous video magnified and highlighted. It shows Mr. Hendricks reaching into his clothing and then pointing a firearm at Officer Taken. >> Yep. Got him right here. Prospect Ever. Hey, show me your hand. Get your hand. [Music] [Music] Immediately upon exiting his marked patrol car, Officer Tekken gave Mr. Hendricks commands to show his hands and take his hands out of his pockets. Mr. Hendrickx pulled out a firearm, pointed it at Officer Tekken, and Officer Tekken discharged his service weapon. Additional officers arrived on the scene, secured Mr. Hendricks's firearm and provided first aid. >> Joel, give me that description. I'm getting flagged down. I think I have the suspect. >> Yep.

Mr. Hendrickx was transported to the hospital by Indianapolis Emergency Medical Services in stable condition. Mr. Hendricks's firearm was unloaded with a magazine inserted and the slide locked to the rear.
