[AI-Generated Summary] An Eyewitness News investigation uncovered widespread record-keeping failures, missing weapons, and tens of thousands of unaccounted-for rounds of ammunition at the Indianapolis Police Department's firing range. Internal investigations revealed altered inventory logs, missing high-powered rifles, a missing Glock handgun, and an M79 grenade launcher inappropriately held by a non-police task force investigator. Although three officers faced disciplinary suspensions, those involved claimed they were made scapegoats for systemic management failures. Ultimately, prosecutors found insufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges, though public safety officials implemented stricter inventory controls and incoming city leadership promised a full review of the department's arsenal.
