Nine people were wounded in a mass shooting near the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington early Sunday morning.
Gunfire erupted as crowds of revelers were celebrating the famed “Little 500” college cycling race on the popular strip of Kirkwood Avenue just after midnight, WTHR reported.
Police responded to the 400 block of East Kirkwood – a block from Indiana University – where they found “multiple wounded individuals.”
Nine people were taken to local hospitals, including six by ambulance, as of 3 a.m., the outlet reported.
Officials did not give their conditions or types of injuries.
Witnesses recalled watching a fight break out amongst two women before the shooting occured.
“Two women fighting… I didn’t think too much of it,” a witness told the outlet.
“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.”
Sunday’s shooting comes exactly a week after another mass shooting near the University of Iowa, another Midwest Big10 school.
Five people were wounded included three Iowa students in last weeks shooting.
