Two teenage boys were killed and five others were injured in a late-night mass shooting near downtown Indianapolis, according to authorities.

Police officers heard gunshots as they hurried to the location on Washington and Meridan Street just before 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, responding to reports of a disturbance, as stated by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

A 16-year-old boy was found shot and killed on the scene. Another gunfire victim, a 15-year-old boy, died later at the hospital, cops said.

Alongside the teenager who later passed away, five others were injured and taken to the hospital. The remaining individuals who survived are a 16-year-old, a 17-year-old, two 19-year-olds, and a 21-year-old, according to the authorities.

Officers recovered several guns at the scene and detained seven people for questioning over the mass shooting.

No arrests have been made, and police have not identified a motive.

IMPD Chief Chris Bailey expressed his frustration at the senseless violence.

“We must all be affected by what transpired. We cannot become desensitized to the violence in our community, no matter where it happens. I am here feeling upset, heartbroken, and frustrated because too many lives are being taken,” Bailey expressed to the press during a news conference.

Bailey claimed the downtown area has been rocked by “lawlessness” in recent weeks.

“What I’ve seen downtown over the last few weeks is absolutely ridiculous. Lawlessness, disrespect, and reckless behavior of people of all ages. It’s nothing we should expect,” he said.

The investigation remains ongoing.
