Reports indicate multiple gunmen and at least nine injuries, with several victims treated for gunfire or injury while fleeing the scene.

Subsequent updates clarified the casualty mix: five victims suffered gunshot injuries, while others sustained cuts and scrapes while escaping the area; ages ranged from mid-teens to early twenties, with victims from several nearby areas (Indianapolis, South Bend, Plainfield).
