A young woman was in custody Saturday following a shooting shortly after midnight near the IU-Bloomington campus.
Chaice Strickland, 18, is being charged with aggravated battery and criminal recklessness, according to an IUPD spokesperson.
Patrol officer Julia Nowak said officers responded after an individual, who was not affiliated with IU, sustained a gunshot wound to the leg.
"That individual was taken to the hospital to be treated for their non-life-threatening injuries," Nowak wrote Sunday in an emailed statement, which did not identify the victim. "No other injuries occurred during this isolated incident."
Strickland first fled the scene by car before being detained, Nowak wrote.
