A fourth person, who arrived at the hospital on his own, is in critical condition, police said.
The fatal incident occurred outside a packed Waffle House location, both inside and outside the establishment.
Police are searching for surveillance footage and witnesses. Officials said the breakfast joint in the southwest part of the city was crowded when the shooting began. WTHR reported.
“Primarily, detectives believe the incident began with a disturbance between two groups of people that escalated into gunfire,” Lt. Shane Foley said in a statement to The Post. “It is not clear whether any of the injured were the shooters. That will be part of what detectives are trying to determine.
No arrests had been made as of early Monday morning.
