Indianapolis police investigate 4 overnight shootings

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis police are investigating four overnight shootings that sent at least five people to the hospital.

The first incident happened just before 10 p.m. Saturday, with the last reported around 4:30 a.m. Sunday, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. IMPD did not say if any of the shootings were related and no arrests have been made.

Female shot at apartment complex near Fall Creek

At 9:50 p.m. Saturday, a person was found shot at the Hubbard Gardens Apartments off 42nd Street and North Sherman Drive. IMPD says the victim, identified in the police report as female, was stable when transported to a hospital.

Shooting victim arrives at north side hospital

About three hours later, IMPD officers were called to Community North Hospital after a male with a gunshot wound arrived at the emergency room. He was said to be in stable condition.

One person shot north of downtown

Around 2:15 a.m., officers found a person shot near the intersection of 10th and Illinois Streets, just north of downtown. Detectives later determined the shooting likely happened a half-mile away at 12th and Illinois streets. It’s unclear how the victim got from the crime scene to the area where he was found.

At last check, the victim was stable at a hospital.

2 shot on city’s northwest side

IMPD says a fourth person was found shot around 4:30 a.m. in the 3700 block of West 10th Street. That’s a residential area near Olin Park on the city’s northwest side. A short time later, officers responded to a report of a walk-in person shot at Eskenazi Health. Investigators believe both victims were involved in the shooting on West 10th Street, but it’s not clear what led to the shooting.

Anyone with information on the shootings was asked to contact IMPD or Crime Stoppers.

Few strong storms Sunday, flood watch until Monday evening | July 20, 2025

Ryan’s 7 AM forecast 7/20

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A FLOOD WATCH is in place for all of central Indiana beginning this afternoon and lasting until Monday evening. Multiple rounds of showers and storms may produce heavy rainfall.

TODAY: Patchy fog in some spots waking up. Central Indiana will likely be dry this morning. Showers and storms become likely this afternoon and evening in multiple rounds. Each round impacts where the next round forms and how strong the following round which makes the forecast tricky. A slight (2/5) risk of severe weather is in place along I-74, with wind as the main concern. An isolated tornado can’t be ruled out. High temperatures in the mid-80s.

TONIGHT: Scattered showers and storms mainly early on. Low temperatures in the low 70s.

TOMORROW: Mostly cloudy skies. Scattered showers and storms in a few waves. Severe weather is not expected. By the overnight hours, rain chances will be dropping off. High temperatures in the low 80s.

7-DAY FORECAST: Heat will build this week. A couple of days later this week will have heat index values in the triple digits thanks to a very muggy air mass. Smaller rain chances are possible late in the week.

Caitlin Clark, other WNBA All-Stars make statement with shirts calling for higher pay

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — “Pay Us What You Owe Us”

That’s what shirts worn by every WNBA All-Star, including Caitlin Clark, said ahead of Saturday’s All-Star Game in Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The unified statement comes as the players union (WNBPA) and the league are in negotiations for higher pay and an adjusted collective bargaining agreement. More than 40 players showed up to the CBA meeting this week in Indy, making it the most attended in league history.

Saturday’s t-shirts were the next step.

“We should be paid more,” Clark said pregame. “Hopefully, that’s the case moving forward as the league continues to grow. I think that’s probably the most important thing that we’re in the room advocating for.”

Clark’s Indiana Fever teammate Kelsey Mitchell admits she’s new to the union conversations, but she’s not new to fighting for herself and other players. That was on full display as she wore her t-shirt Saturday.

“I think the statement spoke for itself,” three-time All-Star said. “You just want to make sure the statement is made clear on what we as players have grown to deserve.”

“We wanted to do something that was just united and collective, and I think it was a very powerful moment and got the point across. You know, sometimes you don’t have to say anything,” four-time All-Star Kelsey Plum said.

The players chose this weekend to make sure their voices were heard. They all met together Saturday morning and decided to wear the shirts together.

“There’s no better time to be able to do it than at the All-Star Break,” four-time All-Star Sabrina Ionescu said. “Everyone’s able to come together, be in meetings, show up to CBA talks and be able to understand what it is that we want to do with the attention that we have this weekend.”

Attention is what they got. The sold-out crowd joined in on the sentiments, chanting “Pay Them!” at the end of the game.

“That gave me chills,” All-Star captain Napheesa Collier said. “The fact that we’ve kept this so present and so in the conversation, it’s definitely never left my mind because of that. A CBA is seven years. You never know how much longer you have to play, so obviously, I’m taking this really seriously for myself but also for the future generations.”

Hundreds of Indiana students receive free laptops during WNBA All-Star weekend

Hundreds of students receive free laptops

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Hundreds of Indiana students got their hands on free laptops as part of WNBA All-Star weekend festivities.

AT&T, along with the WNBA and Human-I-T, distributed 220 refurbished laptops to middle and high school students attending the Indiana Black Expo’s Youth Leadership Summit. 

Human-I-T spokesperson Angelique Cruz said some of the students did not have digital devices in their home, even though they may have homework requiring online submissions. Others were excited about having basic, personal access to the internet. 

“Another student said that she loved fashion,” Cruz said. “So, she was really excited about going on Pinterest and creating boards.”

More than five million households lack any type of computing device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or otherwise), according to US Census data. AT&T is in the midst of a $5 billion campaign to connect 25 million people to high-speed internet by 2030, to help bridge the “digital divide.”

Cruz said, since the laptops are refurbished from large corporations, the event is helping bridge the digital divide while battling e-waste. 

“They might have laptops or old desktops laying around, but they’re perfectly good to be used,” Cruz said. “And we go through a really sophisticated process to wipe them all for data security, and then we take those and give them back to communities that are in need.” 

Dallas Wings guard DiJonai Carrington also met with students during the event inside the Grand Ballroom of The Westin Indianapolis. 

AT&T said it’s distributed more than 1,450 devices to Indiana students and families since 2021.

Stormy weekend continues, dangerous heat builds midweek | July 19, 2025

July 19 | Evening Forecast with Meteorologist Drew Narsutis

TONIGHT

Thunderstorms will continue to rumble through central Indiana this evening, with locally heavy rain and occasional strong wind gusts. Some storms could be severe, particularly early in the evening. Areas that have already seen heavy rain could see localized flash flooding, especially where slow-moving storms repeat over the same areas. The most intense activity will gradually wind down late tonight, but spotty storms may persist in some areas. Lows will stay quite warm and muggy in the low to mid 70s.

TOMORROW

A slow-moving front draped across the state will keep the storm threat going. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely throughout the day, especially in the afternoon. Some storms could once again produce gusty winds and torrential downpours. Highs will reach the mid 80s with high humidity and light west winds. Expect a very summer-like feel to the day.

TOMORROW NIGHT

The storm threat will linger into the evening and overnight hours, with additional rounds of rain and thunder possible, especially before 2 a.m. Some locally heavy rainfall remains possible, particularly over areas that saw daytime storms. Overnight lows will fall into the low 70s with north winds turning calm late.

MONDAY

A bit of a break from the more widespread storm activity, but still a 50 percent chance of scattered showers and a few thunderstorms—mainly after 8 a.m. Highs will be slightly cooler in the low 80s under mostly cloudy skies. Winds will be from the east around 6 mph. Rain totals should remain modest for most, but isolated downpours are still possible.

MONDAY NIGHT

Partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies overnight with a chance for an evening shower or storm before 2 a.m. Lows will dip into the upper 60s. Humidity will remain high and winds light out of the east.

TUESDAY

A dry and warmer trend kicks in. Expect mostly sunny skies with highs in the upper 80s and dewpoints climbing. Winds will turn southeasterly near 5 to 10 mph. Heat index values could start nearing the mid 90s by the afternoon.

TUESDAY NIGHT

Sticky conditions continue overnight with a low temperature only dropping to the upper 70s. Partly clear skies continue with southwest breeze at 5 to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY

The heat ramps up. Mostly sunny and hot with highs in the low 90s and dewpoints in the upper 70s. This will drive heat index values into the 100 to 105 range during peak heating. Winds will shift southwesterly at 5 to 10 mph.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT

Warm and muggy overnight with lows only dipping to the mid to upper 70s. Mostly clear skies continue with southwest breezes holding near 5 mph.

7 DAY FORECAST

After a soggy weekend and lingering Monday storms, the second half of the week turns dangerously hot. Tuesday through Friday will feature highs in the 90s and humidity pushing heat index values well over 100 each afternoon. Rain chances will be low but not zero, with a few pop-up storms possible by late week.

From frustration to fun: Caitlin Clark on emotions of WNBA All-Star weekend

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — While Caitlin Clark is injured and not able to participate in the Three-Point Contest or in the All-Star Game this weekend in Indianapolis, that has not stopped the Indiana Fever star from enjoying the festivities.

“I think the weekend has been absolutely incredible and I hope every player in this league, whether you’re participating in the game tonight (Saturday) or were in the three-point competition, skills competition, or were just here to enjoy the All-Star weekend, I hope they feel the same and felt the love from the city,” Clark said. “Pacers Sports and Entertainment poured in so much time, money, and effort to really make this the best WNBA All-Star there’s been in this league and I’m pretty positive it’s been that.”

“Certainly there’s frustration and a little bit of sadness, but at the same time, I’ve been able to have a great time too,” Clark said.

She thanked the fans for all the support they’ve given throughout All-Star weekend.

“I’m disappointed that I wasn’t able to participate last night (Friday) and won’t be able to participate tonight (Saturday), but still getting to be around to be a part of everything is really important for myself and for the fans,” Clark said. “They’ve been out in full force, whether they’re coming into the game tonight or whether they’re just enjoying all the festivities that are around our city.”

Clark injured her right groin on Tuesday in the Fever’s win against the Connecticut Sun. She was seen with a towel over her head on the sidelines after the injury.

“When the injury happened, it was pretty frustrating considering I knew what the coming days were going to hold for myself,” Clark said. “But I feel like dealing with that and I also just like trying to look at it in the most positive manner that I can.”

The Fever star has been enjoying her time this weekend, but starting on Sunday, the focus changes to recovery.

“I’m not going to say I’ve just been getting around the clock treatment,” Clark said. “I’ve been still trying to enjoy this weekend and having a balance of that at the same time and soaking all of this in and once tomorrow comes around, we’ll completely shift my focus into getting as healthy as possible.”

This is the third time during the regular season that Clark has missed time due to injury. She has also had a left quad and a left groin injury.

Clark has missed 10 regular season games, plus the championship game in the Commissioner’s Cup, with the three separate injuries.

The Fever are 8-5 with Clark in the lineup and 4-6 in the regular season without Clark. The Fever did win the Commission’s Cup championship game without Clark in the lineup. That game is not counted towards the Fever’s regular season record.

Clark has averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game in 13 games this season.
