Police said there was a disturbance during a large party in the alley, and someone fired a weapon into the crowd. <\/p>\n<p>Three adults were shot and taken to St. Catherine Hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd at the party refused to cooperate with police and would not give officers any information on the shooter.<\/p>\n<p>In the second shooting, officers responded to Community Hospital in Munster, after a 12-year-old boy was brought in with a gunshot wound to the shoulder. The boy&#8217;s family told detectives they were outside lighting fireworks in the 5000 block of Baring Avenue, when the boy complained of pain, and started bleeding from his shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>The family took the boy to the hospital, where doctors discovered he&#8217;d been shot.<\/p>\n<p>Witnesses said they didn&#8217;t hear any gunfire in the area, and believe the boy was hit by a stray bullet.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone with information on either shooting is asked to contact Detective Miguel Pena at 219-391-8318 or mpena@eastchicago.com.
