Authorities were searching for those responsible after two people were shot and killed outside a bar in East Chicago, Indiana, early Sunday, police said. At around 1:48 a.m., officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert near OJ s Game Over bar at 151st Street and Indianapolis Boulevard, where they found two men who had been shot. The victims, a 20-year-old man and a 36-year-old man later, died from their injuries. Police said handguns were found next to both victims, but investigators were not speculating about what led to the shooting.
