Two teens were killed and five others injured in a mass shooting that occurred early Saturday in downtown Indianapolis.
Officers from the Indianapolis metropolitan police department responded to reports of a disturbance near Washington and Meridian Street around 1.27 am. When they arrived, they heard gunfire, reported ABC News.
A 16-year-old boy was found dead at the scene, and a 15-year-old boy later died from his injuries at the hospital, according to investigators. One victim arrived at the hospital on their own.
Police said five other victims were hospitalised and identified the survivors only by age: a 16-year-old, a 17-year-old, two 19-year-olds, and a 21-year-old.
No suspect has been identified, and the motive remains unknown. The investigation is underway.
“Too many lives are being lost,” said Indianapolis police chief Chris Bailey as quoted by ABC News expressing anger over the violence
Mayor Joe Hogsett also condemned the shooting and shared his sympathy for the victims' families. “All of this is avoidable and preventable,” he said at a news conference.
