Seven young people, aged between 12 and 17, were wounded in a shooting outside a shopping mall in downtown Indianapolis late on Saturday night, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. The incident occurred near the Circle Centre Mall, where police officers patrolling the area heard gunshots shortly after 11:30 p.m.

Deputy Chief Tanya Terry stated that upon arriving at the scene, the officers discovered a large group of juveniles, with six of them sustaining gunshot wounds. Emergency services promptly transported the injured individuals to nearby hospitals. One victim's condition was upgraded from critical to stable, while the others remained in stable condition.

Another juvenile with a gunshot wound arrived at a hospital separately and was also listed in stable condition. Deputy Chief Terry emphasized the concerning trend of young people resorting to firearms to resolve conflicts, stressing that such actions must come to an end. She urged that disputes should not escalate to the point of individuals using guns, as the consequences can be devastating.

The investigation suggests that multiple guns were involved in the shooting, although no arrests have been made, and police currently have no suspects. The genders of the victims were not immediately provided.

In unrelated news, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) has released video footage from a deadly rampage that occurred last year. The incident involved a 67-year-old former business professor named Anthony Polito, whose application to teach at UNLV was rejected. Polito engaged in a 10-minute shooting spree, which left three professors dead and one severely injured. UNLV made available 20 hours of footage from campus security and officer body cameras, along with recordings of 911 calls made to campus police.

The gunman, armed with a legally purchased 9 mm handgun and nine bullet magazines, had compiled a target list of names. However, none of the victims shot were on that list. This tragic incident highlights the urgency of addressing gun violence and improving safety measures on campuses.

As investigations continue into both incidents, authorities are working diligently to ensure a safer future for communities and educational institutions.
