BARGERSVILLE, Ind. — Two men were fatally shot and a third was wounded early Christmas Eve morning outside a gas station on the Johnson-Morgan county line in Bargersville.
Bargersville Police responded to the call at 5:08 a.m. Thursday at the Circle K Shell at 9400 State Road 144.
Late Thursday, police identified one of the victims as Ethan Bell, 20. The other victim is said to be a male, 17.

"It is tragic," said Bargersville Police Department officer Jeremy Roll. "Making the notification to the family on this day is gong to be terrible. It's going to be an awful situation. It's an unfortunate part of it."
