INDIANAPOLIS -- An off-duty officer for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department accidentally discharged his gun while working security in Broad Ripple early Friday morning.

The officer was in his car near the intersection of Broad Ripple and Guilford avenues around 2 a.m. when his personal gun went off. 

He was hit in the calf and taken to a hospital in good condition. 

He was moonlighting as a security guard, which many officers do. Nobody else at the scene was injured.
