Five teens have been arrested in connection with a Carmel shooting that left a man injured.
About 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 9, police were called to the 1100 block of Golfview Drive after a man was shot. He was taken to a hospital, but the shooter had fled.
The arrests were made less than 24 hours later, the Carmel Police Department announced. All five teens are Carmel residents.
Here are the charges that each teen faces:

Under Indiana law, teens older than 16 but younger than 18 charged with certain serious crimes are automatically treated as adults in court. Attempted murder and robbery resulting in serious bodily injury are both qualifying crimes.
Final charging decisions rest with the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office. The matter is still being investigated, according to Joshua Kocher, the supervisor of the office's juvenile division.
