The Bloomington Police Department issued four photos, including this one, of a person of interest in last Sunday's shooting on Kirkwood Ave.

Police released four photos of a "person of interest" in a shooting on Kirkwood Ave. early last Sunday morning.

"The backpack being worn by the individual resembles a shark or a dolphin," said the statement released Thursday afternoon by the Bloomington Police Department.

Police are asking anyone with information about the person to contact Detective Chris Scott at 812-339-4477 or scottc@bloomington.in.gov.

Five people were injured by gunfire downtown during a dispute between two groups, according to BPD, and four more people were injured during the aftermath. All but one were released from the hospital by Sunday afternoon, and one was in stable condition.

Large crowds gathered on Kirkwood on the night of the men's Little 500.

Out-of-town attendance has grown in recent years, and shootings and arrests have grabbed headlines.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
