INDIANAPOLIS – The community is wondering what led to a mass shooting downtown early Saturday morning that left two dead and five injured. Police arrived at the corner of West Market and North Illinois Street in Indianapolis just after 1:45 a.m.

After hours of investigating, IMPD confirmed three juveniles and three adults had been shot. One person died at the scene and a juvenile died at the hospital. Police said one additional person was shot, but they did not give any information on whether that person was an adult or a young person.

The mass shooting happened hours after people all across the city celebrated July 4th, with fireworks happening just blocks away in downtown Indy.

Officers recovered numerous firearms at the scene and detained multiple individuals for questioning. Investigators are still looking to see if the firearms collected and the people detained were involved.

IMPD Chief Chris Bailey called on parents and guardians to “step up” after officers made at least 20 arrests before the downtown shooting took place. Of the arrests made, officers found guns on two kids, one of whom was carrying an assault rifle, according to police.

“Hundreds of unsupervised kids down here,” Bailey said. “I don’t know how many times I have to say it. We are not your children’s keepers. You are! Parents and guardians have got to step up. A kid is dead tonight, and we just don’t know the age of the young man down the street still here, dead. He looks young.”

Bailey said he will work with the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office to see if there is a way to hold parents accountable for their children’s actions.

“If I can convince the prosecutor to hold the parents accountable, I’m going to do that too,” Bailey said. “There has to be more than what just are the police doing.”
