According to an IU Notify Alert on Sunday morning, police responded to shots fired on Kirkwood Avenue, west of Dunn Street. No shots were fired on the IU campus, another notice said.
The notice encouraged people to stay safe, shelter, lock doors and avoid the area.
A “final update” from IU Notify Alert after 1:15 a.m. encouraged people to avoid Kirkwood Avenue while the Bloomington Police Department investigates, and IUPD remains on campus. The notification asked anyone with information to call 911.
“Two women fighting… I didn’t think too much of it,” a witness told the outlet.
“I figured the police would get to it. But then I saw a girl reach toward her pants leg and start firing. By then, I was already running the other way.”
Anyone with information or video footage of the shooting is asked to contact detective Chris Scott at 812-339-4477.
