Timeline

Police believe the shooting occurred after a fight broke out between two females near the Five Guys restaurant, according to a news release.

An Indiana University Bloomington spokesman, Mark Bode shared, “While no IU students are believed to be involved, we condemn the violence in the strongest terms and thank the Bloomington Police Department, IUPD, State Police, and other law enforcement agencies who responded to the events off campus."

Per local news, gunfire broke out as crowds of people celebrated the "Little 500" college cycling race.

Indiana University police, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, and Indiana State Police also helped at the scene. Police used drones to document the area, and an Indiana State Police helicopter also responded, per local news.

Police have not identified or found the person responsible, and no description has been released. The investigation is ongoing.

Police said it is still unclear how many people were hit by gunfire and how many were hurt by bullet fragments. Six people were taken to hospitals by ambulance, two went by personal vehicle, and another was taken by a Bloomington police vehicle.

Bloomington police said officers were monitoring a large crowd in the 400 block of East Kirkwood Avenue around 12:25 a.m. when they heard multiple gunshots. As people ran, officers moved in and found several injured people.
