IMPD: 2 dead, 2 more injured in overnight shootings

The shootings happened between 10 p.m. Sunday and 4:30 a.m. Monday.

INDIANAPOLIS — Police are investigating after two people died and two more were injured in shootings in Indianapolis from Sunday night into Monday morning. One person was also killed in a stabbing on the city's near south side.

Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears released the following statement on weekend shootings in Indianapolis: 

"Many simple disputes ended with violence over the weekend. We continue to see lasting damage caused by the inability to resolve disputes before resorting to gun violence. We cannot tolerate this behavior and the use of firearms or weapons as a resolution to conflict.

We forewarned the consequences that would come from having more guns on our streets as a result of the permitless carry legislation, and we are witnessing the ramifications of that action on a far-too-frequent basis.

As a community, we must do our part to combat gun violence and address the issues that lead to it."
