School district ends bus fees
A suburban Indianapolis school district will stop charging fees for school bus service after months of controversy that led to a new state law against such charges.

Officials of the 9,000-student district said last year they were forced to cut costs by turning the bus service over to an outside agency that charged at least $40 a month per child.
Man shot during police chase
Indianapolis police say an officer shot a motorist who tried to run him over after a chase approaching 100 mph on city streets.

Officers forced the car to stop, but the motorist then attempted to drive into one of the officers, who fired shots at the car. The wounded driver took off in the vehicle, crossing through a yard and returning to the street before officers were able to stop him again. Steven Wooden, 28, was taken to Wishard Memorial Hospital in stable condition with gunshot wounds to his right arm and left hand. No injuries were reported to police officers.
