Youth Violence in Spotlight After Shootings in Indianapolis and Chicago

Officials in both cities consider measures to curb the rising tide of violence among young people.

An ongoing feud among teens in Indianapolis led to a downtown shooting, injuring seven minors and highlighting the city's struggle with youth violence.
The shooting was premeditated, stemming from a 'beef' between groups, with the victims suffering non-life-threatening injuries.
Indianapolis officials are considering various measures, including a curfew, to prevent future incidents and are seeking to hire a Chief Violence Prevention Officer.
In Chicago, a violent weekend resulted in 32 people shot, seven fatally, including two mass shootings in the Austin neighborhood.
The incidents in both cities underscore the urgent need for solutions to address youth violence and the proliferation of firearms.
