According to police, all of the victims survived, although the 4-year-old was listed in critical condition, Fox 59 reports. So far, a description of the suspect has not been provided.
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett said the shootings were a “cowardly act.”
“Tonight, our thoughts are with all those impacted, including those injured in the shooting, their families, and a neighborhood scarred by a cowardly act. Far too many residents have borne the consequences of the combination of firearms and failed conflict resolution, and I join a frustrated community in calling for an end to this cycle of violence.”
