INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Former Colts tight end Dallas Clark joined Countdown to Kickoff as the celebrity guest on Sunday ahead of the Colts matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.

One of the big reasons why the Colts are off to an 8-2 start to the season and in first place in the AFC South is rookie tight end Tyler Warren.

Warren leads the Colts in receiving yards (617) and is second on the team in receptions (50). He’s third in the NFL amongst tight ends in receiving yards and tied for fourth among tight ends in receptions.

Clark owns some records with the Colts, including the most receptions and receiving yards in franchise history in a single season by a tight end, but he thinks Warren is going to break them all.

“He’s unreal, and what’s great about this kid, is he’s so mature and he just goes to work,” Clark said. “He’s quiet and he utilizes his talents. He doesn’t try to be someone he’s not. He knows exactly what his strengths are and Shane (Steichen) has done a phenomenal job using his strengths and getting him the ball in space. What’s great about his stats is his YAC (yards after catch). I mean, this guy, you better bring a couple dudes to the party to bring him down. He’s tough and loves running and finds physical contact. He’s special, and you don’t see that a lot out of a rookie.”

Warren has 373 yards after catch this season, which is seventh best in the NFL and first among tight ends.

Dallas Clark played nine years with the Colts and was inducted into the Colts Ring of Honor in 2024. He was a one-time All-Pro and one-time Pro Bowler.

Clark had 427 catches, 4,887 receiving yards, and 46 touchdowns with the Colts. He also won Super Bowl XLI with Indianapolis.

The Colts look to take down the Kansas City Chiefs on the road on Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — On Sunday’s edition of “All INdiana Politics,” Indiana State Police has opened an investigation into multiple swatting incidents targeting members of the Indiana General Assembly.

Indiana lawmakers likely killed any chance of a redistricting session by adjourning until early next year.

The Indiana Senate made the decision to not meet in December and discuss mid-decade redistricting, a move that has received much backlash – including from Indiana Gov. Mike Braun.

Two members of Indiana’s best political team said threats, such as those directed at state lawmakers and the governor over the past few days, always carry the risk of actual violence.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — One person died and two others were hurt in a shooting at a home on Indy’s east side early Sunday morning.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department says officers were called to the 3100 block of Forest Manor Avenue around 4:10 a.m. Sunday. That’s in a neighborhood near East 30th Street and North Sherman Drive.

Police arrived and found two people suffering gunshot wounds. One victim died at the scene, while the other was “awake and breathing.”

Officers also found a third person with a gunshot wound nearby in the 3000 block of Gladstone Avenue, believing they had been shot at the Forest Manor scene.

That victim was also “awake and breathing.”

It was unclear what led up to the shooting or if there are any suspects. A public information officer was expected to release more details sometime Sunday morning.

News 8 has a crew heading to the scene.

WASHINGTON (AP) — What began as a campaign-trail promise to release the Jeffrey Epstein files has become one of the most fraught tests of President Donald Trump’s second term — opening a rift in his political coalition and raising the stakes for an administration now under intense pressure to produce documents that may fall far short of public expectations.

The issue came to a head this week. After months of efforts by the Trump administration to quash it, both chambers of Congress passed a measure forcing the release of the Epstein files with near-unanimous support. Trump, who changed course days before the vote to bless the effort, signed the legislation Wednesday, starting a 30-day window for the Justice Department to deliver the records.

Expectations are sky-high, fueled by years of conspiracy theories promoted by many now in Trump’s orbit. Yet with some claims — such as a rumored “client list” of prominent men linked to Epstein — already deemed nonexistent by federal officials, the antiestablishment coalition Trump built in part by elevating those theories is showing cracks that may widen with the anticipated release.

“Watching this actually turn into a fight has ripped MAGA apart,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said this week, flanked by Epstein survivors ahead of the House vote.

“The only thing that will speak to the powerful, courageous women behind me is when action is actually taken to release these files,” said Greene, who announced late Friday that she will resign from Congress in January. “And the American people won’t tolerate any other bulls—-.”

How Epstein files entered the political mainstream

Epstein’s abuse and 2019 death in a New York jail cell have generated conspiracy theories for years, especially on the political right.

On the campaign trail, Trump expressed openness to releasing the investigative documents, nodding to anti-establishment demands to open up the government’s files on other high-profile cases such as the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

But once Trump was back in office, divulging records from the federal investigations, as well as satisfying the appetites of conspiracy theorists, became less appealing. Attorney General Pam Bondi raised expectations of a full release, only to reverse course over the summer. Her attempt to close the book on the Epstein saga outraged many on the right.

It was the first sign of a rift in Trump’s coalition, and Democrats took notice.

In Congress, they began looking for ways to force Republicans to take votes on releasing the Epstein files. Eventually, they found traction with two tracks: initiating an investigation in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and putting full support behind a rarely successful petition that maneuvers around the House speaker’s control of which bills see the floor.

The Democratic effort, joined by a few key Republicans, including Greene, culminated last week in passage of the bill with overwhelming support from both chambers of Congress. It was a sign that the Epstein files had risen from the realm of obscure conspiracy theorists to a political force that neither political party could deny.

Still, it’s not clear whether the complete files will be released — or that the public interest in them will ever be satisfied.

The release and the limits of what may be in the files

At a Tuesday press conference ahead of the House vote, the bill’s sponsors — Reps. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., joined Greene and several Epstein survivors in warning the administration not to hold anything back.

“The real test will be whether the Department of Justice releases the files, or whether it all remains tied up in investigations,” Greene said, adding that whether a list of names is released “will be the real test.”

While Bondi in February said on Fox News that an Epstein “client list” was “sitting on my desk right now to review,” her department has since reversed course, saying such a list doesn’t exist. In a letter this July, the Justice Department said its review uncovered no incriminating “client list.”

It’s one example of how the Trump administration helped build hype for the release of files — and a reminder of the political danger in being unable to deliver the material his coalition has long believed is hidden.

Before Congress got involved, tens of thousands of pages of records were released over the years through civil lawsuits, Epstein and Maxwell’s public criminal case dockets, public disclosures and Freedom of Information Act requests.

Lawmakers believe there are reams more of documents, but they have received little indication that the Department of Justice is ready to put out that information despite a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee that was issued in August.

Khanna said he still has concerns about how fully the administration will comply, but he believes passage of the bill, and the possibility of contempt of Congress, gives lawmakers leverage. He declined to speculate about who might appear in the files but said he expects whistleblowers to emerge if anything is withheld.

“The president has realized, as Marjorie Taylor Greene said, that this is splitting his MAGA base,” Khanna said.

“It would be foolish for him to have a drip, drip, drip fight. I mean, if he wants to fight over Epstein the remainder of his presidency, I suppose we can. But that’s not really smart.”

‘Forgotten America against the Epstein class’

Khanna, a Silicon Valley progressive with aspirations for higher office, hopes the Epstein fight will evolve into a broader movement, describing it as a modern version of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “forgotten class against the economic royalists.”

“This is a forgotten America against the Epstein class,” Khanna said in an interview.

“There’s a real anger at an elite that people think are out of touch and taking away control over the lives,” he added.

As Democrats look for ways to reconnect with working-class voters, Khanna thinks the party should pursue causes like the Epstein files. He has already begun discussions with Massie, Greene and others about teaming up again.

“This crack,” Khanna said of the Epstein vote, is the “answer to taking on Trump.”

(AP) — President Donald Trump’s pledge to terminate temporary legal protections for Somalis living in Minnesota is triggering fear in the state’s deeply-rooted immigrant community, along with doubts about whether the White House has the legal authority to enact the directive as described.

In a Truth Social post late Friday, Trump said he would “immediately” strip Somali residents in Minnesota of Temporary Protected Status, a legal safeguard against deportation for immigrants from certain countries.

The announcement drew immediate pushback from some state leaders and immigration experts, who characterized Trump’s declaration as a legally dubious effort to sow fear and suspicion toward Minnesota’s Somali community, the largest in the nation.

“There’s no legal mechanism that allows the president to terminate protected status for a particular community or state that he has beef with,” said Heidi Altman, policy director at the National Immigrant Justice Center.

“This is Trump doing what he always does: demagoguing immigrants without justification or evidence and using that demagoguery in an attempt to take away important life-saving protections,” she added.

The Trump administration has until mid-January to revoke the legal protection for Somalis nationally. But that move would affect only a tiny fraction of the tens of thousands of Somalis living in Minnesota. A report produced for Congress in August put the number of Somalis covered by TPS at just 705 nationwide.

“I am a citizen and so are (the) majority of Somalis in America,” Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Somali, said in a social media post Friday. “Good luck celebrating a policy change that really doesn’t have much impact on the Somalis you love to hate.”

Still, advocates warned the move could inflame hate against a community at a time of rising Islamophobia.

“This is not just a bureaucratic change,” said Jaylani Hussein, president of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. “It is a political attack on the Somali and Muslim community driven by Islamophobic and hateful rhetoric.”

In his social media post, Trump claimed, without offering evidence, that Somali gangs had targeted Minnesota residents and referred to the state as a “hub of fraudulent money laundering activity.”

Federal prosecutors have in recent weeks brought charges against dozens of people in a social-services fraud scheme. Some of the defendants hail from Somalia. “Accountability is coming,” Minnesota Republican Rep. Tom Emmer wrote in response to that story.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, has noted that Minnesota consistently ranks among the safest states in the country.

“It’s not surprising that the President has chosen to broadly target an entire community,” Walz said Friday. “This is what he does to change the subject.”

In response to Trump’s announcement, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison his office was “exploring all of our options,” adding that Trump “cannot terminate TPS for just one state or on a bigoted whim.”

“Somali folks came to Minnesota fleeing conflict, instability and famine, and they have become an integral part of our state, our culture and our community,” he added.

The protection has been extended 27 times for Somalians since 1991, with U.S. authorities determining that it was unsafe for people already in the United States to return there.

Somalia for decades has been regarded as one of the world’s most dangerous countries. People have been fleeing ever since leader Siad Barre was removed in 1991 by clan-based militias and civil war erupted. The chaos later led to the rise of the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab militant group, which still holds parts of the country and carries out deadly attacks in the capital, Mogadishu, and elsewhere against the fragile federal government.

Community advocates note that the Somali diaspora in Minnesota has helped to revitalize downtown corridors in Minneapolis and plays a prominent role in the state’s politics.

“The truth is that the Somali community is beloved and long-woven into the fabric of many neighborhoods and communities in Minnesota,” said Altman. “Destabilizing families and communities makes all of us less safe and not more.”

As part of a broader push to adopt hardline immigration policies, the Trump administration has moved to withdraw various protections that had allowed immigrants to remain in the United States and work legally.

That included ending TPS for 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians who were granted protection under President Joe Biden. The Trump administration has also sought to limit protections previously extended to migrants from Cuba and Syria, among other countries.

SALEM, Ind. (WISH) — The body of a missing Salem, Indiana, man was found Saturday afternoon by members of a search party coordinated by the Salem Police Department and the Salem Fire Department.

Robert Alan Bragman, 43, of Salem, was reported missing to the Salem Police Department on Monday after he was last seen on Sunday. On Saturday, search team members found Bragman’s body in a wooded area near a walking trail just west of Salem.

At the request of the Salem Police Department, the Indiana State Police has assumed control of the investigation. An autopsy is scheduled, and no additional information will be released until the autopsy has been completed.

The Bragman family has been notified.

YORKTOWN, Ind. (WISH) – It was a somber, reverent ceremony at Jones Cemetery in Yorktown as Delaware County Cpl. Blake Reynolds was laid to rest. 

Following funeral services at Delta High School in Muncie, a pipe band and a riderless horse with the Indiana National Guard Caisson Platoon led Reynolds’ body to the gravesite.  

On Nov. 12, Reynolds was killed in the line of duty after he was struck by a semitruck while trying to help a stranded motorist on I-69. The 31-year-old joined the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office after serving in the National Guard.

Reynolds’ brother, Dustin, led pallbearers. 

After a playing of taps, the flag draped over Reynolds’ casket was folded and delivered to his family. Mourners then lined up to pay final respects, each leaving a single flower on his casket, before his body was buried. 

Reynolds is survived by his wife, Allison, his parents, grandparents, and a brother, along with aunts, uncles, and cousins.

MUNCIE, Ind. (WISH) — After the funeral of Delaware County Corporal Blake Reynolds, community members paid their respects at the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office. They listened in as dispatchers issued the fallen officer’s final call over the radio.

A few dozen people were gathered to witness the emotional moments. The procession came to a stop near the place Reynolds worked for four years.

“On Nov. 12, 2025, Delaware County Corporal Blake Reynolds answered his final call,” the dispatcher said over the radio. “While assisting a motorist on Interstate 69, Corporal Reynolds was struck by a passing vehicle. Delaware County Corporal Blake Reynolds 1818 is 10-42 for the final time. He has gone home to be with the lord.”

As the maintenance superintendent for the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office, James Brooks spoke with Reynolds often. He says he will remember him for his friendly and genuine personality.

“It’s a shame to lose someone so well in the community like that,” Brooks said. “Every time that he wanted to say hi or something, he’d stop and have a conversation with you. He’d always take the time out for everybody.”

Some in the crowd say they didn’t know Reynolds personally. They stood not too far from where a memorial for the first responder stands since the news of his death.

Among those was April Olsen, a paramedic.

“We all work together,” Olsen said. “We communicate together. [First responders] go together, and just be united as one.

St. Joseph County Patrolman Jax Ohda was a part of the honor guard for the services. He says it was a humbling experience.

“It really means the world to us [for the community] coming together to show support for that family,” Ohda said. “A big thank you to that officer that died doing what he loved.”

Following the 10-42 call, the procession continued to Reynolds’ final resting place at Jones Cemetery in Yorktown.

TONIGHT

Partly cloudy and quiet, lows in the upper 30s, a southwest breeze around 5 mph. It stays dry for evening plans, and any clouds that drift through will not bring rain.

TOMORROW

A very nice late November day with clouds early, then more and more sun by afternoon. Highs reach the mid 50s, with a light west northwest wind around 5 to 10 mph. It will feel comfortably cool and is a great window for walks, church events, or yard work after a stretch of gloomier days.

TOMORROW NIGHT

Increasing clouds and seasonably chilly, lows in the low 30s, wind becoming calm. The clear, calm pockets will let the colder spots dip to or just below freezing by daybreak, so a light jacket is still a good idea for early Monday.

MONDAY

Mostly cloudy but still mild for this time of year, highs in the mid 50s, a south southeast breeze around 5 to 10 mph. Most of the day stays dry and workable outdoors, but clouds continue to thicken as the next system approaches from the southwest.

MONDAY NIGHT

Rain develops overnight, especially after about 1 a.m., lows in the upper 40s, a south southeast wind around 5 to 10 mph. Expect a soaking rain with totals on the order of a quarter to around a half inch by Tuesday morning, so roads turn wet for the early commute.

TUESDAY

Rain is likely, mainly in the morning into midday, then clouds hang tough with only slow improvement later. Highs climb to around 60, a southwest wind near 10 mph. It will not be a severe setup, but you will want extra time for holiday travel and a good raincoat or umbrella for much of the first half of the day.

TUESDAY NIGHT

A few leftover showers are possible early, then mostly cloudy and cooler, lows in the upper 30s, a west southwest breeze around 5 to 10 mph with gusts up to around 20 mph. The trend is toward drying out, but it will feel cooler and a bit brisk late at night.

WEDNESDAY

A much cooler, breezier day with more sun returning, highs in the mid 40s, a west wind around 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to the mid 20s. Even with sunshine it will feel chilly, so plan heavier layers for any longer time outdoors.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT

Partly cloudy and cold, lows in the mid 20s, a west wind around 5 to 10 mph. A solid freeze is expected, so bring pets in and keep an eye on any exposed pipes or leftover outdoor plumbing.

7 DAY FORECAST

Sunshine and mild, quiet weather hold through the rest of this weekend into Monday with highs mostly in the 50s and nights in the 30s. A stronger system brings a soaking rain Monday night into Tuesday, followed by a cooler and breezier pattern for mid to late week as highs drop back into the 40s Wednesday and then the 30s on Thanksgiving and Friday, with lows in the 20s. Overall confidence is high in the mild weekend, the Monday night through Tuesday rain window, and the much colder air settling in for the holiday stretch across central Indiana.
