A "mass shooting" at a large street party in Indiana early Sunday morning left one person dead, police said. A hospital said 19 people were being treated for injuries at its facility.

Muncie police responded to multiple reports of gunfire on the city's east side just after 1 a.m., The Star Press reported. Police said in a news release that there was no active threat to the community and that "multiple" victims were injured, including some critically.

There was no word on whether anyone was arrested or was being sought.

"Due to the number of victims and nature of the incident, multiple agencies were contacted to assist," Muncie police said in a statement posted on Facebook.

Many police officers from the nearby town of Eaton were among those who provided assistance, according to a post on the department's Facebook page. Eaton Police Chief Jay Turner called the incident a "mass shooting."

Police didn't say how many people were injured, but officials at Indiana University Health Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie told The Associated Press that 19 victims were treated in their emergency department for injuries related to the shooting, and 13 remained at the hospital in stabilized condition Sunday morning. Criswell said some victims sustained critical injuries and were transferred by medical helicopter to other facilities.

Imagine that! Gun violence outside of Chicago!

These Are the States With the Highest Rates of Mass Shootings

This June, one weekend saw 11 people killed and 60 injured in mass shootings. The end of that month marked the U.S.'s deadliest six months of mass shootings in decades, and on July 22, an attack in a Houston park brought the number of mass shootings in 2023 to 400. More and more, it seems there’s no place to avoid the threats they pose.

But some states are certainly more dangerous than others...

The states with the highest rates of large-scale gun violence are mostly clustered in the south: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and South Carolina, along with Missouri. With the exception of Missouri, all of these states were also among the five with the highest rates of social-related mass shootings, including the racist 2015 attack on a Charleston church. Louisiana also had the highest rate of crime-related mass shootings, and, along with Mississippi and Missouri, also came out near the top in domestic violence-related mass shootings.

Only two states, Hawaii and North Dakota, saw no mass shootings at all in the 9 years included in the study.

Thanks for sharing. More reason to control who has access to guns. The ability to spew bullets instead of words is the root cause of violence being the #1 cause of juvenile deaths in the US.

QED

[sekker]

I wish we could just achieve consensus that we have far too many shootings.

By parallel with auto deaths, for decades we kept blaming the drivers on the excess and tragic traffic fatalities.

But then things changed. How did that happen?

Why, we decided to require seat belts. And seat belt use for teenagers and their adults during drivers ed.

What is the equivalent of seat belts/seat belt use for gun owners? You tell me.

But pretending that training will get us where we want to go is just not reflecting data or human nature.

Eastern Indiana? Sounds like Chicago gun virus is spreading

3 kids arrested with guns, 15, 16 & 17 yr old kids with hand guns.
We don't need new laws, we need to put these violent kids off the streets for a while.

"Illinois prohibits any person under age 18 from possessing a handgun. (Federal law prohibits persons under 18 from purchasing long guns, and persons under 21 from purchasing handguns.)"

I'm skeptical that juvenile detention as it is currently done in this country would have the outcome you desire. Are teenagers who were detained for gun possession less likely to seek a gun when they get out? Any studies on this?

As the above post mentions, guns are easily available in Indiana and easily driven home across the Illinois border. The right wing noise machine loves to obsess on Chicago, instead of obsessing on guns.
