And tonight with breaking news.
Right now police are on the scene looking
for people who fired dozens of s
at a park on the north side of .
In the last few hours,
police have confirmed a group oe
basketball court at MLK Park exchange
gunfire with people driving by.
This is the third time in just two weeks
we've seen gun violence at Indy parks.
Our Emily Longnecker talked tont
with neighbors who are really
concerned about their safety.
Well, they're angry and scared.
So scared that many of them didn't want
to go on camera tonight after they say
their houses were caught in the crossfire
after a car driving past MLK Park opened
fire on folks on the basketball court.
And those folks on that court returned fire.
This picture says it all.
Yellow markers where shell casis
from the shooting ended up.
Police say they found 45
shell casings so far.
Neighbors say the car involved
took off after the shooting.
A witness told police it look like some.
In the car threw something out the window.
So police spent several hours looking
for what they believed could hae
been a gun used in this shootin.
This park in the city's Kennedy
King neighborhood is a favoriteh
families in the area who walk h,
bring their kids to play here ad
have picnics in the Pavilions.
Neighbors tonight say they don't feel
like that's a safe choice right.
Should they be worried that
gunfire is going to break out?
In the middle of the day, I would say no,
since it was a targeted inciden.
The one thing that they do
that they can do to help,
I'm sure a lot of them have cams
or a lot of people saw things.
So if they did see something ory
have camera footage that may hes
with the description of the individuals
involved to obviously give us a call.
We talked to a handful of neighs
tonight after the shooting and
and they say that they're scare,
so scared that they're not goino
even stay in their homes tonigh.
They are actually leaving
after what happened here.
And that's because many of them
referenced a double murder that happened
just a few weeks ago near here,
two blocks away at 22nd and Ruc,
where a a young man and young
woman were coming home from dinr
and they were shot to death.
And those murders still remain unsolved.
So many people here tell us after that.
That happened.
Neighbors on this street anyway
hired a private security guard o
patrol the area on the weekends.
And of course,
this happened tonight on a
Tuesday night in broad daylight.
Gunshots, A gunfight,
a gun battle happening right hee
on this street in broad dayligh.
So neighbors,
they just don't feel safe and ty
they're leaving their homes ton.

I apologize. And walking away,
