INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (March 6, 2016) — Police are trying to piece together a shooting at a west side strip club located across the street from Lafayette Square Mall.
It happened around 1:30 a.m. Sunday at The Golden Nugget Strip Club near 38th Street and Lafayette Road.
Police said two groups began fighting inside the club. At some point, a 24-year-old man was shot. He was taken to Methodist Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
According to officers, the location where the shooting happened is a problem area, and fights often break out near the strip club.
“We do have to give extra patrol here to try and keep that sort of thing down,” said Michael Jefferson, IMPD Nightwatch Commander.
One person was arrested at the scene. Police said he was being uncooperative, and he’ll probably be charged with disorderly conduct.
No suspects involved in the shooting are in custody at this time.

For Indy old-timers: What is now called the Golden Nugget was for many years Babes West, just west of Lafayette Road on W. 38th Street. In recent years its name has been Pure Passion (West) -- there's another Pure Passion on the NE side at 38th and Post Road. Now apparently it has changed names again. Good -- now one can unambiguously refer to Babes, Pure Passion, and Golden Nugget without specifying a side of town.
