Scottsburg - Detectives and Crime Scene Technicians with ISP Sellersburg are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred just east of Scottsburg early Wednesday morning. 

The initial investigation reveals that around 1 am Wednesday, Scott County Deputies responded to a shooting at an apartment located at 2929 E. SR 56 in Scottsburg.
