According to IMPD Capt. Mark McCardia, the shooting happened just inside the front door of VASA Fitness. The gym was full of people when police arrived, he said, leading to a chaotic scene.
Police said the victims, a 22-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy, were taken to separate hospitals for treatment. According to McCardia, one of the victims was said to be in good condition, while the other had more serious injuries.
Witnesses said they heard two or three shots fired. Christopher Velez was inside the gym during the shooting. He told 13News when the shots rang out, people began running for cover.
"I was scared for my life, you know," Velez said. "You're never expecting none of this to happen. Not even in, you know, VASA here, you know. It's friendly around here, but it's just crazy man."
