Police said they initially responded after patrol officers in the downtown area heard several shots being fired nearby. They found six minors, among a larger group of kids, suffering from injuries consistent with gunshot wounds. An emergency medical services crew transported all of them to a hospital for treatment. One of the victims' conditions was critical at the time of transport, but the classification was updated and that person is now stable. The other five victims were stable when they were transported.
A seventh victim, who police determined had been shot during the same downtown incident, was treated as a walk-in at a different hospital. That person's condition was listed as stable too, according to Indianapolis police.
Yeah we get it, American, lots of shootings, yeah already know.
This was my downtown and a mall.
I have guns. I have exceptional training. I don't shoot people at malls.
I worry as inflation and joblessness increase things like this will continue. Rent in Indianapolis has tripled since 2019, and wages haven't kept up
And smart cameras and other surveillance that has increases in Indy since 2019 hasn't helped and most likely don't help prevent violent crimes
Most definitely, I just don't think the difficult economy is helping anyone's mood
