INDIANAPOLIS – A trio of teens were arrested this week following three different non-fatal shootings in Indianapolis.

One of the teenage suspects is accused of taking part in the shooting on the downtown canal that left three people wounded.

Police believe a brief exchange of words suddenly erupted into gunfire along the canal in late June.

“Anybody that has a child that’s gone through this and survives, no one sees the long road of recovery for the family and the victim,” said the father of one of the victims James Ditman.

Ditman said his son, 18-year-old Michael Bright, was shot in the face and still needs to have major surgery to reconstruct his jaw.

“He’s got a long, long road ahead of him. We’re looking at a couple years,” said Ditman.
