One man died and two others were hospitalized with gunshot wounds Thursday after an apparent robbery at a home in downtown Greenwood.

Police were called to the 500 block of North Meridian Street on a robbery in progress and found one person dead and two injured shortly after 10 a.m., Greenwood Police Department Assistant Chief Matt Fillenwarth said.

All victims had been shot. One man was shot in the chest and taken to Eskenazi Hospital where he later died, Fillenwarth said. Another man was taken to an area hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg.

Police found a third man a few blocks away and took him to the police station. While being interviewed, Fillenwarth said the man complained of pain. Medics arrived and found he had been shot in the abdomen. They took him to an area hospital.

Nearby Isom and Northeast elementary schools were placed on lock down for about 40 minutes. The lockdown was lifted shortly after 11 a.m., Greenwood Schools Superintendent Kent DeKoninck said in a tweet.
