An off-duty Indianapolis Metropolitan Police detective fired shots at a motorist who he said tried to run him over in a church parking lot Sunday morning on the Northeastside.
Det. James Carver had been attending services at the Castleton Christian Church 7214 Hague Rd., when he saw three men trying to break into a white 1999 Ford van. One of the men broke the front window of the van and stole something from it.
When Carver tried to intervene the men got into a white Chrysler from the late 1980s with chrome spoke rims, revved the engine and drove straight toward him, according to a report from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
Carver sidestepped the car and fired several shots at it as it sped away.
Police said there was a chance someone inside was hit by the shots and the car likely has bullet holes on the driver's side.
The victim said the thieves took a street navigation system, some karate medals and a wooden necklace with a cross.
