INDIANAPOLIS, Feb 19 (NNN-AGENCIES) — Police are investigating a shooting that wounded six people, one fatally, on the west side of Indianapolis early Monday.
Officers received a report of a person shot at a Waffle House restaurant in the 2600 block of South Lynhurst Drive shortly after 12:30 a.m. Monday. When they arrived at the scene, officers found five victims who had apparently been shot.
One of the victims, an adult female, died from her injuries at the hospital. The other victims transported from the scene to area hospitals, three men and a woman, are all in stable condition, police said.
According to IMPD, a sixth victim — an adult male who arrived at IU Health Methodist Hospital shortly after the shooting — is in critical condition.
Police said two groups of people got into an altercation at the restaurant before the shooting. An IMPD spokesperson said the incident happened both inside and outside the Waffle House.
Investigators are still searching the area for witnesses, noting there were a lot of people at the restaurant when the shooting occurred and many of them left the area before police arrived. — NNN-AGENCIES
