Whistle Stop Inn ‘significantly damaged’ after late night fire

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Fire Department says no one was hurt when a fire broke out at a downtown tavern and left the building with “significant damage.”

Firefighters arrived at the Whistle Stop Inn at Illinois and South streets just before 10 p.m., where they saw large amounts of smoke coming from inside.

IFD says there was apparently “heavy electrical arcing presenting from the basement”; crews worked with AES to shut off power to the tavern and “isolate the building from the grid.”

While no one was hurt, IFD noted that construction barricades made it difficult for the AES operator to reach the power lines. AES also had to ask firefighters to move away from the building for their safety.

The fire was marked under control in around 30 minutes. Investigators have not yet said what caused the fire.

5 dead after Amazon cargo aircraft overruns runway in Miami, striking multiple vehicles

(CNN) — At least five people are dead after an Amazon cargo aircraft overran the runway during a landing at Miami International Airport on Sunday afternoon, striking multiple vehicles on a road surrounding the airport, officials said.

There is no apparent threat to public safety at this time, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said during a news conference Sunday evening. The scene is still active.

“Units arrived to find an airplane that had caught on fire as a result of this crash, with heavy flames and smoke showing,” an X post from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue says.

More than 60 fire units responded to the scene to put out the fire, a spokesperson for Miami-Dade Fire Rescue told CNN.

“We can confirm that an Amazon Air plane operated by 21 Air experienced an incident while attempting to land at Miami International Airport today. This is a fast-moving situation and we’re still gathering details,” Kelly Nantel, an Amazon spokesperson, said in a statement to CNN. “We’re working closely with local authorities and officials to understand exactly what happened.”

“Right now, our absolute priority is the safety, well-being, and care of everyone involved. We’re doing everything we can to support those affected,” the statement continued.

The 32-year-old Boeing 767 was flying from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and landed on runway 30, which is more than 9,000 feet long, according to FAA data.

The National Transportation Safety Board said it is gathering information about the crash and the Federal Aviation Administration will investigate.

It’s not clear why the plane was unable to stop before the end of the runway. A review of air traffic control audio by CNN shows the pilots did not declare an emergency before the landing.

Later, inspection crews reported there were no aircraft parts or debris found on the runway, but the plane damaged navigational equipment when it left the pavement.

A ground stop at the airport was lifted around 5 p.m. ET, and there’s a ground delay into Monday due to the disabled aircraft on the runway, according to the FAA.

The FAA said the 21 Air flight overran the runway around 2 p.m. local time. The airline is a cargo carrier with an operations center in Miami that performs flights for companies like Amazon and DHL using Boeing 767 aircraft.

CNN has reached out to 21 Air for comment.

Runway excursions – when airplanes go off the runway – are the number one incident involving airplanes worldwide, according to data from the International Air Transport Association.

The runways at Miami International, like many airports, have a designated safety area that serves as a buffer in case excursions occur.

19-year-old wounded in shooting near IU Bloomington

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.(WISH) — A 19-year-old man is recovering in the hospital after a shooting in downtown Bloomington early Sunday morning.

The bullet also hit the Old National Bank across the street, damaging the brick.

The shooter got into a car and drove away before police arrived. No one has been arrested, and police have not released a description of the suspect.

IMPD: Motorcyclist dies after trying to pass 2 vehicles on city’s south side

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) —  A motorcyclist died Saturday night after attempting to pass two vehicles on the city’s south side, according to police.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were called to East Hanna Avenue and South Dearborn Street at 7:45 p.m. on a report of a crash involving a motorcycle and a pickup truck.

Arriving officers found the unresponsive motorcyclist in a yard on the northeast corner of the intersection. The man was taken to the hospital, where he died shortly after, IMPD told News 8.

As the truck turned left onto northbound South Dearborn Street, the motorcycle struck the side of the vehicle and “ended up into the yard,” according to IMPD.

Police confirmed the motorcyclist was not wearing a helmet.

Both the driver of the truck and the SUV stayed at the scene and cooperated with the investigation.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact Adam Jones with Crash Investigations at 317-327-6549 or via Crime Stoppers.

Indiana leads North Texas 24-6 at halftime of the season opener

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WISH) — At the end of the first half of the 2026 season opener, Indiana leads North Texas 24-6.

First-year IU quarterback Josh Hoover was near perfect in the opening half of the season. Hoover was 7-of-8 passing and threw for 100 yards with two passing touchdowns. Wide receiver Nick Marsh scored the first touchdown of the season with just two minutes gone in the first quarter.

Marsh caught a one-handed 15-yard touchdown pass from Hoover to give Indiana a 7-0 lead with 13:40 remaining in the first quarter. Then, with one play left in the first quarter, running back Turbo Richard punched in a 2-yard rush at the goal line to put the score at 14-0.

Junior wide receiver Charlie Becker tacked on one last Indiana touchdown before halftime, a 9-yard touchdown reception hauled in at the back of the end zone to give the Hoosiers a 21-3 lead.

Some Lawrence businesses suffer after ICE raid in shopping plaza

Impact of ICE raids on local businesses

LAWRENCE, Ind. (WISH) — Some Lawrence businesses were suffering Friday after this week’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids around central Indiana.

Some of the businesses were not even directly involved in the recent immigration sweeps.

Lawrence Police Department (LPD) said it helped ICE agents arrest a person with felony warrants Wednesday at 54 Beauty Lounge, a hair salon and barbershop on Pendleton Pike, after the man barricaded himself inside.

The suspect had felony narcotics warrants from Texas. In a statement on Facebook, Lawrence police said they only became involved because the situation became a public safety issue.

The statement said in part: “Yesterday’s incident should not be confused with LPD participating in an ICE immigration enforcement operation. This was not a Lawrence Police Department operation, and LPD was not involved in planning or initiating the enforcement action.”

While trying to arrest the man, Lawrence police broke through the front door of what i. Glass from the shattered door remained on the sidewalk near the storefront Friday afternoon.

Circle City Broadcasting reached out to 54 Beauty Lounge several times Friday but did not receive a response. Store president Emely Hernandez issued a statement on Facebook, calling the situation tragic.

“At no time were our employees, customers or individuals in the surrounding area in danger. Each of the individuals who were arrested are honorable men, fathers and members of our community, with impeccable reputations.”

Nearly 70% of the 13 businesses in the surrounding plaza were closed Friday. This included a Haitian market and Honduran restaurant El Sabor Catracho. The restaurant had a sign in the window that translates to: “Closed until further notice.”

Johnny McCorvey, co-owner of Korean Bonda Restaurant in the same plaza, said foot traffic and overall business dropped dramatically after the raid Wednesday.

“Since they’ve left, the parking lot has been fairly empty. Business has gone from slow to nothing,” McCorvey said.

McCorvey asked that passersby not assume his business is closed just because others in the plaza are.

“I would hope they don’t let it influence them continually, but I understand some people are gonna be afraid to show up around here if they are illegals,” McCorvey said.

46-year-old man says he was stabbed at Anderson hotel

ANDERSON, Ind. (WISH) — A domestic fight left a 46-year-old man with multiple stab wounds Friday morning at an Anderson hotel, police said.

Anderson Police Department said in a news release that its officers began their investigation after they found the man in Henry County. The release did not give the man’s name, any details on where he was found in Henry County, or where he is from.

The man told officers the stabbing happened at the Red Roof Inn, 6325 S. Scatterfield Road in Anderson.

Medics took the man to a hospital to treat several cuts. Hospital staff said he was stable and expected to release him after 1 p.m. Friday.

Law enforcement in Henry County found a 35-year-old woman, who was not named in the release, connected to the stabbing and held her until Anderson police brought her back for questioning.

No arrest was announced. Anderson police detectives were leading the investigation.

Judge declares mistrial for Lindsay Clancy, accused of killing her 3 children

PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — A judge in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial declared a mistrial Friday after jurors failed to reach a verdict in a case that sharply divided many Americans over whether the Massachusetts woman should be criminally responsible for killing her three young children.

The trial generated intense interest for more than a month, drawing attention to issues around maternal mental health after childbirth.

Clancy, a 36-year-old former labor and delivery nurse, never disputed that she killed the children. But her attorney said she had a rare condition called postpartum psychosis when she strangled her kids, the youngest just 8 months old, then tried to take her own life in 2023. Prosecutors said Clancy knew what she was doing.

Friday’s mistrial, on the seventh day of deliberations, leaves the case unresolved. In the end, the decision seemed to surprise no one in the courtroom. Neither Clancy nor her family showed any emotion as the judge announced the trial was ending without a resolution.

Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz said there would not be an immediate decision about a second trial.

“This was and has always been about getting justice for those beautiful babies,” Cruz said.

The deliberations took a dramatic turn late in the week when the judge said he was going to declare a mistrial Friday before suddenly changing course and giving her defense attorney a chance to appeal to the top court in Massachusetts. But the court denied the emergency appeal to stop the judge from declaring a mistrial.

Prosecutors said Clancy acted deliberately when she strangled 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan Clancy with exercise bands on Jan. 24, 2023. They said she contrived to get her husband out of the house by sending him to pick up medicine for one of their children and dinner for the family.

Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, said she should not be held criminally responsible because of her postpartum psychosis, a rare mental illness linked to the stress, sleep deprivation and hormonal changes that follow childbirth.

Over 21 days of testimony, jurors heard how Clancy’s mental health had collapsed after Callan’s birth.

Deeply anxious about a planned return to work, unable to sleep and experiencing what she described as a disturbing brain fog, Clancy sought care from experts in postpregnancy mood disorders, who prescribed multiple psychiatric medications.

Clancy’s family members testified that she expressed concern about her mental health decline. Her former mother-in-law, Susan Clancy, described her as a “very nurturing, very loving mother” who was “begging for help.”

In early January, she checked herself in to a psychiatric hospital for more intensive treatment, but her stay was short. She killed the children 19 days after she was discharged, leaving their bodies in the basement of the family’s home in coastal Duxbury, Massachusetts. Clancy jumped from a second-story window immediately after and remains paralyzed from the waist down.

Prosecutors conceded that Clancy had severe mental illness, but insisted she was able to understand and control her actions. They emphasized that although she claimed to have heard a male voice commanding her to kill the children, she never disclosed hearing voices to her mental health providers before the killings.

In its latter stages, the trial became a battle of medical experts.

Kirk Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist hired by prosecutors to evaluate Clancy, testified that he didn’t believe her story about having heard voices. And he said he didn’t believe she had acute psychosis when she killed the children, but rather took their lives so they wouldn’t “suffer” after she killed herself.

Dr. Phillip Resnick, a forensic psychiatrist who testified for the defense, said that Clancy was “clearly psychotic” and was not in control of her actions.

“It was almost like she was a puppet and someone else was pulling the strings,” said Resnick, who spent hours interviewing Clancy after the killings. He said she was also likely experiencing bipolar disorder.

At the start of the trial, Clancy’s ex-husband Patrick Clancy described the horror of returning home to find his children. Prosecutors played a seven-minute 911 call in which he could be heard finding the bodies.

In interviews, he has said he has forgiven her and believes her actions were the result of mental illness.
