(CNN) – Eight teenagers were wounded in a shooting Friday night at a skating rink in Gary, Indiana, police said Saturday.
Gary Police Department spokeswoman Cpl. Gabrielle King said that a fight broke out during or after the concert at the World of Skates roller rink on Friday, prompting the rink’s manager to close up for the night.
“The manager asked everybody to leave, and when they went outside somebody just decided they would open fire and eight young people were shot,” she said.
She said those wounded range in age from age 14 to 18. They were taken to local hospitals, although King said none has life-threatening injuries.
She was not certain if any remained hospitalized Saturday. No arrests have been made, she said.
A phone call to World of Skates was not immediately returned.
wouldn’t America be boring without gangs? man… i’m sure thankful for little blessings. think about it… the “30,000 Americans killed by guns every year” statistic would be closer to 15,000 (the approximate number of suicides by gun every year)… the antis would have basically absolutely zero ammo against 2A rights.
Gary usually makes the news in January of each year if it is NOT the murder capital of the US the preceding year. It’s murder rate is tremendously high.
Saw this last night. Played around in the comments section a bit. Last night someone posted up the names of the vics . . . looks like CNN has “moderated” that post. It was evident from the names . . …
It is crazy but here is the generic “cost of a free society” comment. But if the “progressives” have their way about all amendments, including the 2nd…Well what can you say.
Oh, and yes, PROGRESSIVES are the bad guys, not Democrats.
The reports I’ve seen indicate that it was a “concert” at a skating venue . . . read as defunct skating rink hosting the local rap artists for an evening of peaceful singing and social conciousness.
