A mass shooting near Indiana University left nine people injured early Sunday morning, authorities reported.
Police were dispatched following reports of gunfire at a post-event celebration connected to the “Little 500” college cycling race. The incident occurred shortly before 12:30 a.m. Upon arrival, officers discovered several individuals with gunshot wounds. According to WHTR, nine victims were transported to nearby hospitals, with six requiring ambulance services.
Details concerning the severity of the injuries sustained by the victims have not yet been disclosed by officials.
Eyewitnesses indicated that the shooting erupted from a confrontation between two women attending the event.

“Two women fighting … I didn’t think too much of it,” a witness told WHTR. “I figured the police would get to it. But then I saw a girl reach toward her pants leg and start firing. By then, I was already running the other way.”
The Bloomington Police Department has yet to make any arrests in the case.

The incident comes just a week after police identified Shamar Elkins as the suspect in a domestic violence rampage that left eight children dead and two women shot in Louisiana last week.
Shreveport Police Department Corporal Christopher Bordelon released Elkins’ identity while speaking with reporters near the crime scene Sunday evening, calling the mass shooting a “heinous crime.”
Along with the children, Elkins is accused of shooting the mother of his children, who is expected to survive, as well as another woman who is suffering from life-threatening injuries. A teenage victim also sustained injuries considered non-life-threatening.
According to investigators, the suspect first shot a woman on Harrison Street before traveling to a residence on West 79th Street, where the murders happened.

After fleeing, he allegedly carjacked a man at gunpoint near Linwood Avenue and West 79th Street before officers located the vehicle and initiated a pursuit.
The chase continued into Bossier Parish, where officers confronted the suspect and opened fire, killing him at the scene. Authorities said no officers were injured.
