Indianapolis Shooting: 5 Shot At Sawmill Saloon In Little Flower

INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Two people were killed and three were wounded in a shooting in Indianapolis overnight, and police say it all started with a disturbance at a bar. Around 2:15 a.m. Sunday, police officers heard multiple shots ring out near Brookside Parkway South Drive and North Sherman Drive in the northwest corner of the Little Flower neighborhood, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said in a release.

Moments later officers were sent three blocks south for a report that someone had been shot. When they arrived, they found multiple people shot outside the Sawmill Saloon, police said.

Emergency responders declared one man dead at the scene, police said. Three people were rushed to Eskenazi hospital, where a second person was declared dead. One was critically wounded, but in stable condition.

A fifth person was rushed to Community East hospital by a friend and then moved to Methodist hospital where he remains in critical condition.

An investigation remains ongoing, though detectives have determined that a "disturbance" occurred at the Sawmill Saloon before gunfire erupted.

The name of the victims wasn't immediately known. A $1000 reward is being offered for information that leads to a felony arrest.
