Nine people were wounded in a mass shooting near the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington early Sunday.

Gunfire erupted as crowds of revelers were celebrating the famed “Little 500” college cycling race on the popular strip of Kirkwood Avenue just after midnight, WTHR reported.

Two women had gotten into a fight, with two men then pulling out their guns and firing in the dense crowd at around 12:25 p.m., Bloomington Police Chief Mike Diekhoff told reporters.

The gunfire left five young women injured by the gunfire and bullet fragments, with four others hurt in the ensuing stampede, officials added. 

The two women involved in the fight were not injured, and the motives of the male shooters remain unclear, authorities said.

Police responded to the 400 block of East Kirkwood – a block from Indiana University – where they found “multiple wounded individuals.”

Nine people were taken to local hospitals, including six by ambulance, as of 3 a.m., the outlet reported.

The injured were identified as a 17-year-old who was hit by fragments in her foot and ankle, an 18-year-old struck in the ankle and shin, a 21-year-old hit in her shin and thighs and a 22-year-old with embedded fragments in the back of her thigh. 

A 20-year-old victim suffered a direct gunshot that traveled through her body from her abdomen to her armpit, but it remains unclear which way the bullet entered and exited, Diekhoff noted.

One of the victims remained in the hospital under stable condition, with the rest treated and released Sunday, officials said. 

Witnesses said a fight broke out between two women before the shooting, and one of the women appeared to pull a gun and open fire.

Witnesses recalled watching a fight break out between two women before the shooting occurred.

“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.”

No suspects have been arrested so far, with police asking for anyone with information or video of the incident to contact detectives. 

No students are suspected of having been involved in the violence, university officials said.

The Little 500 is the largest collegiate bike race in the US, and Kirkwood Avenue is a popular hotspot littered with bars and restaurants just across the street from campus.

“Last night marred what should have been a celebratory weekend for the IU and Bloomington communities,” university spokesman Mark Bode said in a statement. 

“While no IU students are believed to be involved, we condemn the violence in the strongest terms and thank the Bloomington Police Department, IUPD, State Police, and other law enforcement agencies who responded to the events off campus.

“Our thoughts are with the victims of this tragic incident,” he added.  

Sunday’s shooting comes exactly a week after another mass shooting near the University of Iowa, another Midwest Big10 school.

Five people were wounded, including three Iowa students, in last week’s shooting.
