Shooting at Short-Term Rental Sparks Outcry | Indianapolis News

A violent party at a short-term rental in Indianapolis ended with a 15-year-old girl shot, sparking outrage over lax oversight. With 300 guests in attendance, neighbors blame the booking platform VRBO and new owner Jack Haniels, who claims ignorance of city registration rules — despite a prior shooting at the same property last December that led to 10 guns being seized. The city insists all short-term rentals must be registered, with penalties for noncompliance. Police are investigating both the shooting and potential ordinance violations, while residents demand accountability after another fatal incident at a similar property earlier this year. In a bizarre twist, the alleged renter was later caught trying to re-enter the building — police let him go, but the owner plans to file a burglary complaint.
