Opening March 20 Indiana History Center The Indiana History Center’s exhibition areas reopen this week in a big way
with the launch of “Indiana Experience.” Interactive areas, peopled with re-enactors, bring photographs from the
center’s archives to life. New viewing portals allow for detailed searching of the collection.

And there’s more. This weekend, it’s all opening to the public, which means you don’t have to wait to chaperone
your child’s field trip in order to join in on the educational fun. (Of course, you don’t have to do that, anyway—the
History Center is open to the public, although there will now be an admission charge.) Details here. And watch for a video tour of Indiana Experience coming soon at www.ibj.com.

Indianapolis police fatally shot an Indianapolis man Tuesday night after they say he attacked an officer. The shooting took
place after police tried to stop the driver of a 1994 Grand Marquis for a traffic violation near 30th and Richardt streets.
Police Sgt. Paul Thompson said the driver fled and smashed into the squad car before stopping in a field at the end of a dead-end
street on the city's far-east side. "It is my understanding the officer was physically assaulted and possibly knocked
down, and maybe knocked out. At some point in time, he was able to fire and the suspect was shot multiple times," Thompson
said. The 35-year-old suspect later died at Wishard Hospital. The officer went to Methodist Hospital and is in stable condition
with head injuries.
 

Two children and an adult were injured in a trailer fire in Plainfield about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. The children, who lived
in the trailer, were taken to Riley Hospital in Indianapolis with unknown injuries. The rescuer was transported to Wishard
Hospital, also with unknown injuries.
