At least seven children between the ages of 12 and 17 were wounded in a mass shooting in busy downtown Indianapolis late Saturday night.
Officers were on patrol just after 11 p.m. when they heard gunshots near the Circle Centre Mall, a shopping plaza downtown, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department told Fox 59.
After rushing to the area of West Maryland Street, officers located a “large group of juveniles,” including six with gunshot wounds, Police Deputy Chief Tanya Terry said during a Sunday morning news conference, according to CNN.
All of the victims were taken to local hospitals, with a seventh arriving later, Terry said.
One child arrived at the hospital in critical condition, but has since been upgraded to stable condition, officials said.
All of the victims were in stable condition by Sunday morning.
According to a police report, there were four boys and three girls injured in the shooting.
The mall is in the heart of the Hoosier capital’s downtown nightlife district, with multiple busy bars and restaurants nearby.
It was not immediately clear what led to the shooting.
No suspects were in custody as of this Sunday morning.
