One victim is in an Indianapolis hospital following a late-night Wednesday shooting in western Putnam County.

Preliminary reports from the Putnam County Sheriff's Department indicate that PCSD detectives were dispatched to a residence in western Madison Township shortly after 11:30 p.m.

The incident began as a domestic dispute involving three family members. One was shot and another fled the scene following the shooting.

This individual was located in a shed about an hour later.

As of Thursday morning, the victim remained at Methodist Hospital.

A second subject was ordered by Putnam Circuit Court Judge Matt Headley to be taken to the Hamilton Center in Terre Haute for evaluation.

The third individual was neither in custody nor the hospital.

The Putnam County Prosecutor's Office and Indiana State Police are also taking part in the investigation.

"I'm glad the Indiana State Police had their crime scene tech unit out there," Sheriff Scott Stockton said. "It's nice to have those resources."

More information, such as names of those involved, will be provided as it becomes available.
