Police said they initially responded after patrol officers in the downtown area heard several shots being fired nearby. They found six minors, among a larger group of kids, suffering from injuries consistent with gunshot wounds. An emergency medical services crew transported all of them to a hospital for treatment. One of the victims’ conditions was critical at the time of transport, but the classification was updated and that person is now stable. The other five victims were stable when they were transported.

A seventh victim, who police determined had been shot during the same downtown incident, was treated as a walk-in at a different hospital. That person’s condition was listed as stable too, according to Indianapolis police.

    I think teens face economic hardship directly. They often are financially stuck to whatever their parents allow or have access to and if they do get a job it’s typically at the minimum wage

    But yeah, teens statically make more rash decisions like this
