A gunshot victim was transported to a hospital following an altercation just north of Indiana State University campus early this morning.

Information is limited at this time; however, police were dispatched to the 7th and Elm bar at about 1:30 a.m.where a large crowd was assembled outside the establishment. Shots were reportedly fired. Just after 2 a.m. an officer announced the victim was transported to a local hospital, according to scanner traffic.

Terre Haute Police Department officers are processing the crime scene a short distance behind the 7th & Elm bar. The owner of the bar, Kevin Hellmann, has stated the incident is not connected to the bar and it appears to stem from a privately held party at a nearby residence. He noted the bar had been closed for the night about two hours before the shooting.

Indiana State University Police assisted at the scene and have stated that an ISU student was shot in the leg, suffering non life-threatening injuries.
