INDIANAPOLIS -- The suspect in an attack on the house and car of an officer with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department has been charged with two felonies, Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry announced Thursday morning.
March Ratney was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon and criminal recklessness.
Curry said investigators found two guns and ammunition at the three houses where Ratney lived.
Ratney was taken into custody after somebody fired shots into an IMPD officer's house and car Tuesday morning.

Police found 17 shell casings at the scene, with three bullet holes in the car and five in the house.
"We can't tolerate this. This officer represents this city. And our city was attacked and his family was attacked as a result," said IMPD Chief Troy Riggs during a press conference Tuesday afternoon.
The suspect, Ratney, 27, was identified at the scene by witnesses. He was wearing a black shirt with the words "f--- the police" on the front, and "black lives matter" on the back. Police weren't able to provide any information about Ratney's involvement with the movement, if any.
During questioning after Tuesday's incident, Ratney denied both owning a gun and being involved in the shooting. He said he was in the neighborhood because he and his mother live in the area. He also used an expletive at police and urinated in the interview room.
