INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - One man was killed and five people wounded in a shooting that happened early Sunday after a fight broke out during a birthday celebration in Indianapolis, police said.

The shooting was reported about 3:20 a.m. at an event hall on the city's northwest side. Officers found a man dead inside the building while five wounded people went to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
