In the span of just eight hours, 10 were shot and three killed in Indianapolis, according to local outlet Fox 59.

Just past 7:30 p.m. Monday evening, Indianapolis police were called out to their first shooting incident of the night, Fox 59 reported. They received an emergency call for a separate shooting less than 10 minutes after responding to the first. In total, 10 were shot and three killed just eight hours after Indianapolis police responded to the first shooting Monday evening, according to Fox News. 

Authorities were responding to their fifth shooting of the night by 1:15 a.m. Tuesday morning. Authorities discovered upon arrival that two cars had been shot multiple times and four men who were critically injured from gunshot wounds, Fox 59 reported.

“We don’t really know the cause of the shooting at this point,” Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) Night Watch Commander Kerry Buckner said, according to Fox 59. “We do know that it occurred, started in the house in the 4300 block and it spilled out into the street. It looks like there was some sort of gun fight around the SUV up there that has several bullet holes in it.”

Investigators believe the last shooting in the spree of violence was a murder-suicide that left a man and woman dead just after three in the morning. (RELATED: 184 Die Over Independence Day Weekend As Violent Crime Continues Its Rise)

“This is a very unfortunate incident. Tensions are high and it is understandable because loved ones were lost today,” IMPD’s Samone Burris told Fox 59.

“Hopefully our community wants to work with us even more now than ever,” Burris went on. “Instances like this, we don’t [want to] continue to see these every day – it has to stop.”

IMPD is continuing to investigate these shooting incidents but no arrests have yet been made for any of these crimes, the Fox 59 report stated.

Like many major cities across the country, Indianapolis has seen an increase in shootings and homicides over the first half of 2021, Fox News reported. There were 368 shootings in 2021 from January to July but 255 in 2020, according to Fox 59. There were 122 homicides in the first half of 2021, an increase from 108 in the first half of 2020.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
