Indiana's two largest cities saw little change in homicide numbers last year. Indianapolis officials say the city had 108 homicide cases during 2012, with four more in other Marion County communities. The city's total was the same as 2011’s number and down significantly from the 151 homicides it saw in 2006. Fort Wayne, meanwhile, had 28 homicides last year, compared to 20 in 2011 and 28 in 2010.

Two masked men, including one armed with a gun, climbed through a drive-through window and stole Oxycontin from a Greenwood-area CVS store just before 8 p.m. Thursday. The men forced a pharmacist to open the window of the store at 402 Market Place Dr., took the drugs from a safe, exited through the window and sped off in a white Chevy passenger car. Police stopped a similar car a short time later but the men in the car did not match the description of the robbers.
