Three Slain In Elkhart Shooting
Three men were shot and killed late Sunday night in Elkhart, Indiana.
Elkhart police said officers responded to a shooting around 11:15 p.m. at a home near Strong Avenue and Riverside Drive.
Offices found two men inside the home, and a third man on the lawn outside. All three were pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Police said it appears two men wearing masks broke into the home, and began shooting, killing the three victims. Three other adults and four children who were in the home at the time were not injured.
Investigators believe the shooting was a targeted attack.
As police were investigating, several bystanders began gathering outside the crime scene, and some people tried to cross the perimeter, police said. One person was arrested for interfering with police, and another was arrested for disorderly conduct. Additional police were called to the scene to help secure the crime scene.
