Three dead, seven wounded in a series of shootings as Indianapolis city leaders voted to spend more than $3M to reduce violent crime

Six shootings took place in Indianapolis, Indiana, starting Monday into early Tuesday, leaving three dead and seven injured in the span of eight hours. 

The first death was reported in the 5800 block of Suburban Drive, where the Indianapolis Metro Police Department found a man shot at 8:14 p.m. on Monday.

The man was taken to a hospital in critical condition and he died shortly after arrival. 

The other two deaths were reported at 3:05 a.m. Tuesday, as police believe a murder-suicide took place in the 8200 block of Gilmore Road.  

Another shooting hours earlier left four people in critical condition and came after the city pledged more than $3 million to address violent crime and mental health.

IMPD officers found four males shot after 1 a.m. Tuesday in Lawrence, a suburb on the city's northeast side.

The victims are listed in critical condition, according to WTHR.

Six shootings took place Monday night and early Tuesday morning, around the same time Indianapolis leaders voted to fund police with an additional $1.5 million to fight violent crime

Police told the station that the shooting began inside a house and spilled out into the street, hitting two cars but sparing any nearby homes.

On Monday, the Indianapolis City-County Council voted to give the police department an additional $1.5 million to improve 'the efficiency of IMPD's response to potential violent crime through investments in technology and data analysis,' according to a statement from the city.

The plan was proposed by Democratic Mayor Joe Hogsett in response to rising violence.

It awards another $1.8M to the city's Office of Public Health and Safety to 'prioritize diversion over the arrest of those experiencing mental health or addiction crises.'

Between January and June, 113 people were killed in Indianapolis, up from 89 over the same span last year

'I'm not suggesting that tonight's fiscal will resolve every issue in gun violence that the city of Indianapolis has,' the mayor said in a statement according to WISH-TV. 

'That will take time and, frankly, if we are to meaningfully change the trajectory of gun violence in our city, it's not going to be done by dollars alone. 

'It's going to be done when every single person in Indianapolis does what he or she can to make our city a safer and more equitable city.'

From January to the end of June, 113 people were killed in Indianapolis, up from 89 victims over the same span in 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic took hold. 

The Marion County Prosecutor's Office noted 317 non-fatal shootings from the beginning of this year through June 18, according to the Indianapolis Star. 

Three of the shootings took place 39 minutes apart, starting at 7:35 p.m. and ending with the first fatality. A fourth shooting occurred at 10:30 p.m. 

 No arrests have been made in any of these shootings.
