Police said they initially responded after patrol officers in the downtown area heard several shots being fired nearby. They found six minors, among a larger group of kids, suffering from injuries consistent with gunshot wounds. An emergency medical services crew transported all of them to a hospital for treatment. One of the victims' conditions was critical at the time of transport, but the classification was updated and that person is now stable. The other five victims were stable when they were transported.

A seventh victim, who police determined had been shot during the same downtown incident, was treated as a walk-in at a different hospital. That person's condition was listed as stable too, according to Indianapolis police.

Yeah, there have been studies that show cognitive impairment tied to prolong stressed caused by poverty. I'll have to dig them up. Nothing tied to mass shootings, but I don't think it's a leap if someone is having a hard time making rent and food to maybe not make the best decisions every day

Not saying that poor or homeless people are a problem, saying economic stressors affect us in more ways than we might immediately see

Property values seem in part tied to all of the excess money coming into the state, I've been around here for a decade and never seen so many out of state tags as since the pandemic. Even lower middle class in NY or CA can afford higher prices
