Overnight Shooting at Fishers Bar Leaves One Dead; Suspect in Custody

An overnight shooting at a Fishers bar has left one man dead and another in police custody, according to Fishers Police Sgt. Angela Ellison.

Officers were called to the Britton Tavern, located near 141st Street and State Road 37, around 2:45 a.m. Monday. Responding units found a 30-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound inside the establishment. He was later pronounced dead.

“This is very rare for this area. This establishment has been here for many, many years,” Ellison told reporters early Monday morning. She added that incidents of this nature are uncommon in Fishers and emphasized that there is no ongoing threat to the public.

The name of the victim has not yet been released, and police say additional details are expected later today as the investigation continues.
