Violent week in Indianapolis results in 9 murders in 7 days
On Thursday, two more people were shot to death with the city's 100th criminal homicide of the year taking place at an east side apartment complex.
"Gun violence and criminal activity is just extraordinarily random," said Indianapolis mayor Joe Hogsett.
Still, while police and city leaders are working hard to stop the violence, the mayor admitted this week no promises can be made when the violence will begin to slow.
"We could go five or six days without a homicide. I guess the only thing that you can count on is the random nature of gun violence and criminal activity," said Hogsett.
