Just days after Mayor Greg Ballard announced a "zero-tolerance" policy for officers involved with alcohol on duty, a Facebook user posted a photo of a uniformed Indianapolis officer attending Rib America with a cold beer in his hand. The photo shows the officer, a veteran reserve patrolman, holding a 24-ounce can of Bud Light on Sunday near a rib stand. Lt. Jeff Duhamell said the officer was not drinking the beer. "He was asked to hold the beer and napkins and utensils for a guy putting rib sauce on his ribs," he said.

Crawfordsville police say Steven Bixler intended to scare his girlfriend’s daughter as a disciplinary measure Saturday when he entered her room and pointed a rifle at her. Instead, the rifle discharged, firing a bullet directly into the 10-year-old’s torso. Savannah Ross died from the injuries. A sibling and two other friends saw the incident. Bixler has been charged with criminal recklessness, reckless homicide and pointing a firearm, but additional charges could be filed. Fox59 will have more at 4 p.m.
