Police say eight people were shot and wounded when shootings erupted during the crowded Indiana Black Expo in downtown Indianapolis.

Police spokesman Lt. Jeff Duhamell says gunfire was reported around 9:30 p.m. Saturday and sent thousands of people running from the area.

Police say the shootings occurred on Maryland Street, near the Circle Centre Mall. Duhamell says no arrests have been made in connection to the shootings.
