INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA -- Police were on patrol soon after 11:00 p.m. Saturday near the Circle Centre Mall in downtown Indianapolis when they heard gunshots ring out, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department told Fox 59.
The police ran toward the gunfire near West Maryland Street and located a "large group of juveniles" and found that six of them had gunshot wounds, Police Deputy Chief Tanya Terry said at a Sunday morning news conference, according to CNN.
The mall is in the heart of the Hoosier capital’s downtown nightlife district, with multiple busy bars and restaurants nearby.
Seven children between the ages of 12 and 17 were wounded in a mass shooting. They were all taken to a local hospital, one child was in critical condition initially but has since been upgraded to stable condition.
By Easter Sunday morning, the four boys and three girls were all in stable condition.
At the time of this posting, it is not known what led up to the shooting and no suspects have been taken into custody.

It's obvious that the Democrats are going to make heartfelt calls for more gun control because they never let a tragedy go to waste. But let's not kid ourselves, it isn't the guns that are violent and more gun control, even confiscating guns from law abiding citizens, isn't going to solve the problem with street violence.
Fathers in the home is a good first step along with familial lessons in moral clarity.
