One man was killed and 17 other people were wounded early Sunday in a shooting at Willard and Hackley streets on Muncie's east side, US, APA reports citing The Star Press.
Delaware County Coroner Gavin Greene later identified the victim of the fatal shooting as Joseph E. Bonner III, a 30-year-old Muncie resident.
Deputy Police Chief Melissa Criswell said Sunday morning that "multiple victims" were being treated at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital, with some suffering from critical injuries being transferred by medical helicopter to other facilities.
"All scenes are contained and there is no immediate threat to public safety," Criswell said in a release.
Neil Gifford of IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital said 19 patients were brought from the shooting scene to the Muncie hospital.
Other sources said 18 of those people, including Bonner, were believed to have suffered gunshot wounds.
Four victims were then transferred to other hospitals, presumably in Indianapolis.
Thirteen of the victims were admitted to the Muncie hospital.
Emergency dispatchers received reports of the gunfire at 1:14 a.m., resulting in city police and Muncie Fire Department emergency medical personnel being sent to the scene.
