I was going to post this when it first happen but I'm glad waited. Back in the 90's drive bys were getting pretty common, I don't know if it was gang bangers growing hearts or what but they just stopped happening. You get people shooting people in cars and all the other sad normal crap but it seemed til Thursday night people "wetting" houses had stopped except for one other story here earlier this week where a women was laying down on her couch and was shot (she lived). I know most people look at Indianapolis and think "oh, a bunch of hicks sitting on their yard couches watch nasacar drinking beer and tending to their crops of corn" it's not true for the most part, I promise I've lived here all my live (except for 2 awesome years in Brownsville Tx) and it's always been a large city with crime like other big cities. I'm saying this because this is the first time the cops have seemed to let the criminals know this shit isn't going to stand and they're going to hunt this person down, even after the large increase of 10-17 year olds being gunned down in public areas because of gangs. And it's about fucking time!!! BTW they know who the shooter is but haven't named them.

Investigators were called to a residence in the 3500 block of N. Wittfield St. around 2 a.m. Thursday, where they found two gunshot victims: a 19-year-old female, and a 1-year-old Malaysia Robson. The two victims were found in the front part of the house, according to police. The 19-year-old was shot in the shoulder.
Investigators believe the two were hit in an apparent drive-by shooting that police say is likely an isolated incident. Police believe the teen is the child's aunt.
Police say witness interviews indicate this was part of a dispute that started on social media. That dispute led to a large fight on the east side Wednesday night at an apartment complex. The group kept fighting on the phone and online, and eventually shots were fired into the home.
Nine people were inside the residence at the time of the shooting, according to investigators. Most were family members who lived there, but a few may have been guests. The majority of them were in the front room when the shooting happened. One of the people inside was a 4-month-old child.
Wilburn said anyone harboring or protecting the person responsible for the shooting is just as much at fault.
"If you know something, if you have any information, it’s tough, then call us," Wilburn said. "If you have any information or harbor the person responsible for this, then you are subject to the same response for this and you think it's OK to harbor that person, then you can expect that same response from us."
Sgt. Chris Wilburn with IMPD struggled to contain his emotions while discussing the case with reporters Thursday morning.
"I want people to really, really sit and realize where we are. A 1-year-old baby girl lost her life this morning, senselessly. And if that doesn’t move you to action, I don’t know what can," he said.
“An individual got into whatever mindset and thought it appropriate to fire into a home and target whomever, but a baby girl died this morning,” Wilburn said.
“I apologize for being so raw, but that’s where we are this morning. This is a raw scene,” he said. “This is a raw and emotional outpouring of hurt from your police department and first responders.”
"A 1-year-old cannot stand on her own, much less defend herself. A 1-year-old cannot form sentences or speak out against the mindless menace of gun violence in her community, but we can stand we can speak. And if we don’t, no one will," said Indianapolis Mayor Hogsett.
There is another story that just came out with more detail about what happened and the family of the victims. I'm trying not to be too judgmental but it can be hard, like I want to scream why were those babies not in bed at 2am on a Thursday night or why would you have them in that house at all with what was going on at the time... But they are victims and it's tragic but the only person truly at fault here was the POS who took a gun and decided to shoot it into the dwelling.
I'm just going to post the link below if you want to read it....
