According to Fox News
Two people were killed after “multiple shootings” were reported in downtown Indianapolis Saturday night into early Sunday morning as protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis turned into violent riots.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said one of the shootings happened around 2:30 a.m. near the intersection of Talbot and Market streets, in the heart of the downtown area.
“Enough is enough,” IMPD Police Chief Randal Taylor told reporters shortly before midnight. “Indianapolis, we are better than this. Downtown is not safe at this time. Residents who do not live in the downtown area, we’re asking to please vacate the area.”
Between 11:45 p.m. and 3 a.m., five people were reportedly shot throughout the city, three of whom died. Officials clarified at a news conference Sunday morning that two of the deaths took place downtown after the protests became dangerous for a second straight night in Indianapolis.
Taylor confirmed that two people died in the downtown shootings. In addition to those who died, one officer was injured and at least 29 arrests were reported.
Earlier in the evening, the IMPD put out an advisory, telling residents to avoid the downtown area.
