Five people and an unborn child were killed in a mass shooting inside an Indianapolis home in the early hours of Sunday morning, according to a report.
A young male was also found injured in what investigators believe was an attack led by several shooters around 4 a.m., the Indianapolis Star reported, citing police.
“This morning, one of the most people perpetrated an act of harm in our city,” Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett said at a news conference the following Sunday, according to the newspaper.
“What happened this morning was not a simple act of gun violence … what happened this morning was a mass murder,” the mayor said.
Indianapolis subway police department chief Randal Taylor said the violence was Indianapolis’ “largest mass murder” in more than a decade, according to the report.
Police did not immediately reveal a possible motive for the killings.
