Three people were killed and three others injured in a single-vehicle crash Sunday afternoon east of Anderson. Investigators
believe the sport-utility vehicle was speeding south on County Road 600 West near Daleville about 4 p.m. when the driver hit
a rise in the road and lost control. The SUV became airborne, struck a retaining wall, and flipped for a couple of hundred
feet before stopping. Killed in the crash were driver Lisa Case, 46, of Anderson, and passengers Kent Kalley, 46, and Andrew
Lackey, 12, both of Yorktown. The three other passengers, all 13, were in stable condition.
Police throughout Indiana plan a 17-day effort to crack down on drunken driving starting Friday. The campaign, called “Drive
Sober or Get Pulled Over," is aimed at preventing drunk driving during March sporting events and St. Patrick's Day.
The effort runs through March 24. State troopers plan sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols. Indiana had nearly 6,300
alcohol-related crashes last year with 97 fatalities.
School buses were involved in three crashes in the city Thursday morning, including one involving injuries. Ambulances took
four children to Riley Hospital for Children after an Indianapolis Public Schools bus was involved in a crash at about 8 a.m.
on the northeast side. The students suffered what are believed to be minor head injuries. A Pike Township bus carrying two
students collided with a car on the northwest side, and another IPS bus crashed on the northeast side. No injuries were reported
in those crashes.
Indianapolis police are trying to determine who killed a local man, possibly in front of his children. The body of David McMiller, 28, was discovered Wednesday afternoon in his Lynhurst Park Apartment on the southwest side. Investigators believe the victim had been shot or stabbed. His three children, ages 4 and under, were home at the time of the incident.
One man was killed and three others injured in a shooting Tuesday about 8 p.m. at Wellington Apartments on the east side

Two drivers had to be extricated from their vehicles and rushed to the hospital Wednesday morning after a two-car accident
in Noblesville at the intersection of State Road 37 and Field Drive. Southbound 37 was closed from about 9:45 to 10:45 for
crash cleanup. The victims were taken to Riverview Hospital in unknown condition. State troopers reported about a hundred
weather-related accidents in central Indiana from 6 p.m. Tuesday through this morning.
An Indianapolis man was taken into custody just after 7:30 p.m. Monday after he crashed his sport-utility vehicle into Forest
Ridge Apartments on the far north side of the city. Terry Rowe, 53, was heading west on Wheatgrass Way before he drove into
four apartment units, causing an estimated $50,000 in damage. Rowe and numerous residents were uninjured. Police didn’t
cite a reason for the crash.
A driver traveling north in the southbound lanes of Interstate 65 in Johnson County died Monday night after he crashed his
van into a semi. The fiery accident shut down I-65 between Franklin and Edinburgh from about 10:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. Lee Wayne
Oliphant, 67, of Indianapolis died in the crash. The 59-year-old semi driver suffered minor injuries.
Two boys were arrested Tuesday morning in connection with two house fires in the 1300 and 1400 block of North Olney Street
on the city’s northeast side. The first fire broke out at about 1:30 a.m. and caused an estimated $25,000 in damage.
The second occurred at about 6 a.m. and created $35,000 in damage. Both homes were vacant and the fires appeared to be intentionally
set. The boys also are suspected of causing a dumpster fire.
Several Brownsburg residents expressed concerns Wednesday about an indoor shooting range that could open near their homes.
Plans for the 100,000-square-foot facility at 462 Southpoint Circle have not been submitted to the Brownsburg Zoning Board,
but homeowners turned out for an informational meeting. Residents said they were worried about safety and the impact the range
would have on nearby homes’ values. The project could be up for zoning approval as soon as April.
Investigators are trying to determine what caused a fire that quickly spread through a north-side home Wednesday afternoon,
killing a male resident. Firefighters called to the 7500 block of Brackenwood Circle at about 4 p.m. found a man in his mid-60s
unconscious inside, suffering from with apparent burns and smoke inhalation. He died late Wednesday at St. Vincent Hospital.
Damage to the home is estimated at $100,000.
Detectives are searching for two armed men who robbed an Ameriana Bank branch in Carmel. Witnesses said the men wore ski
masks and showed them handguns when they entered the branch at 3975 W. 106th St. at 10:45 a.m. Monday. The pair got away on
foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. Police says it’s the first bank robbery in Carmel since 2010.
Hundreds of trees on the northeast side of Indianapolis will be removed over the next two months because of an emerald ash
borer infestation. The metallic green beetle has destroyed more than 50 million ash trees since its discovery in the United
States in 2002. The bug has been found in 59 Indiana counties. Almost 500 trees will be removed along Sargent Road between
96th Street and Fall Creek Road. Another 25 will be taken down along 91st Street near Allisonville Road.

It's also across the street from Fogo de Chao and Morton's....
Yep, the haters are trying to make good news bad. I guess it is hard to get people to believe the series is dying when they are gaining new sponsors.
David Copperfield! I remember watching his specials on TV when I was little.
Don't forget this is next to an MMA gym, a pawn shop, and some abandoned spaces.
Good project for Zionsville - A group who has owned the property for many years has waited and worked patiently to bring highest and best use development to a major corridor, and mix that in with the great downtown you have. Win Win. All the Best to Pittman Partners and Zionsville.
