A total of five people were shot dead, including a pregnant woman, in a shooting at a Home in Indiana in the early morning hours of 24 local Time, local police said, the city’s worst mass shooting in 10 years.
The Indianapolis police chief Randal Taylor said police believe the shooting was not a random killing, but rather a targeted plan by one or more suspects to commit the crime. Taylor noted that the FBI and local prosecutors and other law enforcement agencies have been contacted to assist in the investigation.
Indianapolis Police Department spokesman Shane Foley said police received the report at about 4:40 a.m. and arrived at the scene to find several adults dead from apparent gunshot wounds. Foley added that paramedics did their best, but the pregnant woman and her unborn baby did not survive, and a teenager who was initially found with gunshot wounds is expected to survive.
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett told reporters that he is still learning more about the incident and is in contact with the Southern District of Indiana Attorney’s Office and the FBI’s Indianapolis field office, saying, “What happened this morning was not a simple shooting, it was a mass murder.
