A mass shooting at an Indianapolis Waffle House left one woman dead and at least five people injured Monday morning.

Gunfire erupted around 12:30 a.m. when two groups became involved in an altercation, according the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. Five people with gunshot wounds were transported to a hospital, including a woman who was in critical condition and died, police said. The other victims – a woman and three men – all were listed in stable condition, the Associated Press reported. A sixth man who was shot traveled separately to a hospital and was listed in critical condition, police said.

One local station said a handgun was found at the crime scene and another firearm was located in a nearby car.

Investigators planned to view surveillance video to help them figure out what happened.

No one has been arrested in connection.

The shooting ended what was an otherwise celebratory weekend in Indianapolis, which hosted Sunday’s NBA All-Star game and several related activities. The scene of the shooting is less than 8 miles from Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Monday’s gunplay comes days after 22 people were injured and one woman was killed following a parade celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl win in Missouri.
