Dispute over fireworks leads to shootout between neighbors that left 1 dead and 3 wounded

One woman is dead and 3 others wounded following a shootout between neighbors on Indy's near northwest side. Cell phone video shared by a neighbor clearly shows a man standing at his front door firing the first shot into a crowd of people next door.

The people who have been letting off fireworks for the last five days need to pause and consider other people who are affected by continuous loud bangs. Not to mention what it does to dogs, cats, and other wildlife. In our neighborhood the trashy people just left the debris on the sidewalks and streets. The county needs to have bee laws regarding fireworks - its getting waaaay out of hand.

Guess next time they won't shoot fireworks in the middle of the city. Most vets have PTSD from action and fireworks remind them of the battles they've been in. Take the fireworks out of town and be considerate of your neighbors and local vets.

The only fireworks stand anywhere near me didn't open this fourth of July. Nice and quiet. The disrespectful Mexican neighbors around me always left a mess in the street. The Julio's get drunk and out comes the guns while blasting their Mexican music at 500 decibels. I've regained control since one them said for me to call the cops and I looked him in the eyes and told him I don't call the cops because I can handle it myself. And I did.

Half the country has PTSD. It's so rude to make all that noise right where other people live and have people and pets on edge for days afterward. People should go to a park or something and light that crap.

Literally this. Neighbor asks you to not do so as it bothers them. You continue to do so being a terrible neighbor. Just go to a fireworks show!
