INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis doctors are concerned about a growing trend of kids and teens becoming victims of shootings.Neighbors in the area of the shooting said they are tired of seeing the violence.
"To know that a kid was injured in this whole process speaks to where we are heading as a city and more so as country," Antonie Richards said."Making sure that one, we are protecting our neighborhoods, being a presence ... making sure that everybody is present to make sure that we hold everybody accountable," Richards said."There were probably about 10-12 gunshots.
"I think the most concerning would be the drive by shootings that we see — violence not necessarily directed at anyone individual," Landman said."We see a lot of acute stress disorder, nightmares, flashbacks even in the tiniest of physical injuries.""There's somebody in our community who knows what happened [Tuesday night]. I implore upon that individual or individuals to come forward and provide information to our detectives," Lt. Shane Foley said at the scene.
