There have been a number of heartbreaking accidental shootings across Indiana, and they have been happening more frequently. IMPD says this spike has Hoosiers concerned.

INDIANAPOLIS — There have been a number of heartbreaking accidental shootings across Indiana, and they have been happening more frequently.“I’ve seen a lot of accidental shootings,” Vinzel Mead said.“I don’t think permitless carry has anything to do with it,” Mead said.

IMPD says at least 59 people have been accidentally shot in Indianapolis this year. Three of those were deadly. IMPD says they can’t link the rise of accidental shootings directly to the permitless carry law, but Chief Taylor says he feared a rise in crime would come with passing the law. “I just feel like it’s one of those things that can happen to anyone. It’s sad but I can’t really blame anything or anybody for it,” Mead said.
