At least six people were shot, one fatally, at a Waffle House in Indianapolis early Monday morning.
An Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson said gunshots rang out around 12:40 a.m. at the popular chain restaurant after two groups got into an argument.
One woman was seriously injured in the shooting and later died at a hospital, police said.
Three men and a woman were also shot and taken to area hospitals in stable condition.

A fourth man, who arrived at the hospital on his own, was in critical condition, police said.
The fatal incident spilled out of a packed Waffle House store and occurred both inside and outside the store.
Police are working to track down surveillance footage and witnesses. Authorities said the breakfast restaurant on the city’s southwest side was packed when the shooting started. WTHR reported.
“Detectives tentatively believe this incident began as a disturbance between two groups that escalated to gunfire,” Lt. Shane Foley said in a statement to the Post. “It is not clear at this time whether the shooter was also among the injured. That will be part of what detectives will try to figure out.”
No arrests had been made as of early Monday morning.
Indianapolis has been crowded with tourists over the past few days as the city hosted the NBA’s All-Star Weekend, which ended on Sunday night.
