MUNCIE, Ind. — Whether a violent turn of events early Sunday on Muncie's
east side that saw 18 people wounded by gunfire — one of them fatally —
qualifies as a "mass shooting" remains to be seen.
By most definitions, mass shootings are committed by a single individual.
Muncie police have not yet said whether that was the case when gunfire
broke out at Hackley and Willard streets, where a "block party" was
underway, about 1:15 a.m.
As of late Sunday afternoon, police had not released information about the
events that led to the shootings.
No related arrests had apparently been made.
Sunday's shootings came more than four years after seven people were shot,
one fatally, at a party west of the Ball State University campus.
As a result of that incident — on May 18, 2019, in the 2400 block of West
Euclid Avenue — Vashaun Letrell Harnett, now 24, remains charged with
attempted murder.
Prosecutors did not dispute Harnett's claim of self defense in the
shootings of six people, one fatally, in the Euclid Avenue house.
Harnett told police he began shooting when another person at the party
pointed a handgun at both Harnett and his girlfriend.
One of the shooting victims, 17-year-old Daymarr "Scooter" Kennedy of
Muncie, died two days after being wounded.
However, prosecutors have contended Harnett's shooting a few minutes later
of Tyler Childers, who was standing over a wounded victim outside the
house, was not in self defense.
Childers, 21 at the time he was shot, survived.
Harnett stood trial on the attempted murder count in December 2021, but a
mistrial was declared when jurors were unable to reach a verdict.
Court records reflect the case is still pending, although a trial date is
not presently set.

I didn't think so.
