2 dead, 9 injured in multiple overnight shootings across Indianapolis

IMPD says ten shootings occurred Nov. 23 and Nov. 24 over the course of twelve hours, killing two and injuring nine.

INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD is investigating several shootings across Indianapolis from over the weekend. In those shootings, two people were killed and nine were injured.

The first shooting happened around 6:00 p.m. Saturday, when a 15-year-old walked into Riley Hospital for Children critically injured.

"It's very frustrating and heartbreaking," Rev. Charles Harrison said.

Those were just some of the many emotions Harrison had not only about that teen, but the several victims in these shootings.

"It's just hard to believe that we are at this kind of pace now where almost everyday somebody is getting shot," he said.

According to IMPD, these ten shootings happened within twelve hours.

One of those happening after 2:30 Sunday morning on East New York Street. Officers say a fight inside a bar led to two men being shot. One died at the scene, the other taken to the hospital in critical condition.

Moments later, just two miles down the road, police say a disturbance inside Brad's Brass Flamingo led to someone going outside to get their gun and start shooting. One man was seriously injured.

"We are seeing more interpersonal conflicts, fights and arguments lead to gun violence than we've ever had as a city," Harrison said. 

Harrison tells 13News before the year ends, city leaders and community members need to come together and find solutions to end gun violence.

"There is no accountability anymore and accountability is a deterrent for other people who might use violence if they think the consequences are going to be severe," he said. 

If you have any information that can help police in their investigations, you can call IMPD or Crimestoppers at (317) 262-TIPS.
