Mass shooting near Indiana U. campus wounds 9 on Kirkwood Ave. after 'Little 500' trib.al/QnehY9J

IU’s statement on last night’s mass shooting on Kirkwood. “Last night marred what should have been a celebratory weekend for the IU and Bloomington communities. 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. Our thoughts are with the victims of this tragic incident. Safety remains our top priority and we remain in close coordination with local and state law enforcement.”

Waking up this morning and I am sad and angry. 9 people were injured early this morning in a shooting on Kirkwood in Bloomington during Little 500 weekend. Bloomington Police say they were stationed in the area due to it being Little 5 weekend when they heard multiple gunshots and the crowd started running. If you don’t know Little 500 weekend, it’s a bike race, but it’s also the biggest party weekend of the year. Kirkwood was filled with thousands of students and people visiting. Police say they immediately found multiple wounded people. At this point, we still don’t know how many were hit directly with bullets, bullet fragments or if anyone was injured during the chaos after. Ambulances took the injured, a Bloomington Police officer took someone in their own squad car, and two were driven by personal vehicles for treatment of injuries. Police have no suspects and nobody in custody. I was on Kirkwood with with my daughter and her friends on Friday afternoon. We literally played Yahtzee in Kilroy’s. I was gone before before 6PM. My son went to visit his sister, an IU student, Saturday during the day and I knew there would be a shooting, and I told him “I don’t want you shot” so he came home before 6PM. I am praying for the 9 injured and their families. We don’t want to live this way. We shouldn’t have to tell our kids you can’t be somewhere because you might be shot. Please don’t remain silent. Anyone with information about the shooting, or who may have video of the shooting, is asked to contact Detective Chris Scott at 812-339-4477.
