INDIANAPOLIS — Police in Indianapolis are still searching for the people involved in a July 4th shooting that left two kids critically injured and also injured an adult.
The shooting happened around 7 p.m. in the area of East 38th Street and North Arlington Avenue.
Police say there was a holiday cookout happening at that location when multiple people were shot.
Witnesses in the area described the chaotic scene as the incident unfolded.
“I saw police officers flying in paramedics flying in, more family to be pulling up and trying to make sure that it wasn’t one of their family members,” Reverend Deonte Edmonds of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church said.
The two children were listed in critical condition when they were taken to the hospital. The adult's condition was never released.
Police say the two kids were playing in an inflatable bounce house when they were shot.
"It's heartbreaking these were kids trying to enjoy their Fourth of July activities and they were essentially caught in the crossfire of who was being completely irresponsible and had no regard for life," Indianapolis police Lt. Shane Foley said.
Police have not released any details about a possible suspect and have made no arrests at this time.
Anyone with information should contact IMPD or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.
