INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis police say two men have been found fatally shot inside a restaurant following what a co-owner says is an apparent robbery.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department says officers responded about 1 a.m. Wednesday to Jordan’s Fish and Chicken on the city’s east side and found the men with apparent gunshot wounds.
The men were pronounced dead at the scene. Names weren’t immediately released, but police say they were in their late 30s or early 40s and worked at the restaurant.
The deaths are under investigation. Police have surveillance video that they hope will help the investigation.
