One man shot at party Sunday morning, shooter at large

 

One man was shot twice at a party just after 2 a.m. Sunday. Police are still looking for the shooter.

The party was at the event space of Bedräk Cafe, a brunch restaurant on South Walnut Street. Police said hundreds of partygoers were spilling out into the parking lot and street on the last night of Little 500 weekend.

Officers found the 20-year-old man inside the building. He was shot twice below the waist.

He was taken to IU Health Bloomington Hospital, and his condition is not known. He is alive as of 5 p.m. Sunday.

The man is from Indianapolis and is not an IU student.

Officers from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office heard gunshots around 2 a.m. and determined they came from the building at 409 South Walnut Street.

The event was shut down after the shooting.

Police declined to say what kind of gun was used and whether they found it, but Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Ben Burns said he does not believe the public is in danger.
