Two people died and a third was injured after a shooting that occurred Saturday night at a shopping center located in the U.S. town of Hebron, Indiana, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Department.
A press release detailed that shortly after 7:00 p.m. local time (same time in Chile), Indiana State Police officers and officials from the same Lake department responded to a call at Karmic Sunshine, an antiques and accessories store located near Indiana State Road 2.
Soon after, at 7:37 p.m., DW’s Junction 2-65, a live country music venue located in the same shopping area, posted on Facebook a message to prevent people from coming to the place due to the incident.
