Police say 2 killed in shootings, 1 possibly in self-defense

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Indianapolis authorities say a shooting left one man dead and a woman injured, while a teenager was killed in a possible self-defense shooting.

Police say officers were called around 6 a.m. Sunday to a house on the east side, where a man was pronounced dead. A woman was shot in the arm and transported to a hospital in stable condition. Their names weren't immediately released.

Separately, police say 15-year-old Roshun Johnson was fatally shot Sunday morning at a home the southeast side. Detectives believe another person was lured to the house, where Johnson threatened that person with a gun. Authorities say that person shot Johnson, left the house and called police.

Police say that person has been released and prosecutors will decide whether to file criminal charges.
