Indianapolis Metropolitan Police were sent shortly after 3:35 p.m. to a robbery in progress and a person shot at Irvington Plaza Shopping Center at 6241 E. Washington St. The shooting happened at the EZPawn store.

"Shooter stayed on-scene, witnesses cooperating with detectives.”

...Police later said that the shooter was a store employee.
The robber, 15yo, died at hospital.

If you scan for these type stories, as I do, I've noticed lately that a number of stories that involve a defensive gun use do not explicitly label them as such, or as self-defense. Often they just start out as "Somebody got shot" and later in the story you find out it was a SD situation.

That's because firearms used in self defense does not fit the narrative the media is trying to feed the population.
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

When the narrative you are pushing involves the use of made-up terms like "gun violence", this is the sort of reporting you expect.
