by Lauren Holter

At least three people were wounded in a shooting at Washington Square Mall in Indianapolis Wednesday evening. The shooting broke out in a common area right outside the mall's Target, and a mall employee told RTV6 that she heard at least 15 shots fired. Indianapolis Police Officer Rafael Diaz told RTV6 that police received multiple reports of shots fired at the mall and reports of multiple people injured. It's still unknown who the Washington Square Mall shooter is, and the police do not have a suspect in custody yet. Witnesses reportedly told police that they saw a male suspect running from the scene.

According to Fox59, a male victim was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition, and two female victims were transported to another hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Update: The Indianapolis Metro Police released descriptions of two suspects wanted in connection with the shooting: the first suspect was described as a black male, 19 to 20 years old, approximately 6'6" tall with a thin build, wearing a black hoodie, and armed with a handgun, and the second suspect was described as a black male, 19 to 20 years old, approximately 5'10" tall with a thin build, and wearing black clothing.

According to the police, a man entered the mall and got into an argument with another man that quickly escalated. The man pulled out a gun and fired several shot, hitting the man he was arguing with and two bystanders. The victims were confirmed as a 26-year-old man, a 20-year-old woman, and a 25-year-old man, two of which have been released from the hospital.
