Indiana Teen Accidentally Shoots Friends | Indianapolis News

A 21-year-old Indianapolis man, Joshua Ledford, faces serious charges after accidentally shooting two friends during a drunken, gun-tinkering incident inside a home on Denison Street. Witnesses say he ignored pleas to stop, even boasting, “I can do what I want. It’s Indiana.” Ledford immediately confessed to police, admitting he was drunk, fiddling with the firearm, and calling himself a “dumbass.” Both victims are recovering at home—one hit in the arm, the other in the chest or armpit. Authorities stress that accidental shootings are preventable and that gun ownership carries the same responsibility as driving. Ledford, held without bond, is awaiting his court hearing.
