CHICAGO (AP) — Kelsey Mitchell hit seven 3-pointers and scored 35 points and the Indiana Fever defeated the Chicago Sky 93-78 in a marquee matchup on Sunday that was missing stars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.

Clark missed her fourth-straight game for Indiana with a groin injury and has only played in half of the team’s games and Reese was out for her second straight for the Sky with a back issue.

Aliyah Boston had 14 points, 11 rebounds and six assists for the Fever (14-12), who have three double-figure wins over Chicago this season. Makayla Timpson had 14 points off the bench and Aari McDonald added 10.

Mitchell had her 100th career 20-point game, second in franchise history behind Tamika Catchings, and her ninth 30-point game. She also picked up her 200th career steal and the Fever turned 23 turnovers into 31 points.

Rachel Banham had six 3s and 26 points for the Sky (7-18). Kia Nurse added 14 points, Rebecca Allen 13 and Kamilla Cardoso 12 with 12 rebounds.

The Fever had a 16 point lead early in the fourth quarter cut to six with less than five minutes to go but Mitchell responded with a 3-pointer and a couple of free throws to end the threat.

Indiana closed out the first quarter on an 18-2 run to lead 26-13. Mitchell had 13 points and the Fever had 14 points off nine Chicago turnovers.

The lead reached 16 points in the second quarter before the half ended at 51-39.

Chicago got off to a quick start in the third quarter, pulling within 56-55 at the midway point on consecutive jumpers by Nurse. Mitchell responded with a 3 and a layup before consecutive baskets by Timpson pushed the lead to 65-55. Lexie Hull’s buzzer beater made it 75-61 entering the fourth quarter.

MARION, Ind. (WISH) — An Marion officer was involved in a police shooting Sunday morning after seeing a passenger in an SUV firing at a pedestrian, Indiana State Police said in a news release issued Sunday

Officers from the Marion Police Department just after 10:15 a.m. Sunday responded to a “shots fired” call near the intersection of West Fourth Street and State Road 18/South Western Avenue eastbound.

Investigators think that, as officers approached the intersection for the “shots fired” call, one of them saw an SUV matching a description from the initial report near West First Street and South D Street, a few blocks to the northeast. The officer, who was not named in the release, saw a passenger in the white SUV actively shooting at a pedestrian, believed to be the same target from the “shots fired” call. The officer then fired at the passenger, who fled on foot and remained at large on Sunday night.

No injuries were reported, although several homes were struck by gunfire.

The identity and duty status of the officer involved have not been disclosed, the release said.

The state police investigation, once completed, will be sent to the Grant County Prosecutor’s Office for review.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A woman died in a crash of two cars on Saturday night at a street crossing in a housing subdivision on the northeast side of Indianapolis, according to a police report filed Sunday.

The fatal crash was reported at 10:05 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of Scarborough Boulevard East Drive and Fairwood Drive. That’s in the Scarborough Village subdivision southeast of the intersection of Hague Road and East 75th Street.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department report identified the woman who died, but the Marion County Coroner’s Office has not yet confirmed her identity.

The vehicles involved in the accident were a white Volkswagen sedan and a white 2009 Mazda sedan. The report did not indicate who was driving which vehicle.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Five people were shot Sunday afternoon in a housing subdivision on the northeast side, Indianapolis’ second mass shooting this month, police said.

Details shared with the public were few, but Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department was sending a spokesperson to the scene.

Medics and IMPD were called just before 4:15 p.m. Sunday to a report of a person shot and an unsafe gunshot scene in the 3900 block of Hornickle Drive. That’s in the Deer Run subdivision off East 38th Street between North German Church Road and North County Line Road.

IMPD initially reported one person who was found shot at the scene was awake and breathing.

About a half hour later, three people walked into hospitals with gunshot wounds. They’d “self-transported,” IMPD said in a media alert. One was in critical condition, while the other two were stable.

Shortly after 6 p.m., a police spokesman, Executive Office William Young, said five people had been shot, with four of them going to hospitals on their own, and a fifth person found shot at the crime scene. Four of the people shot were in a vehicle, and the other was outside. One man was in critical condition, and four were stable. All were males.

The other mass shooting this month in Indianapolis happened in the early morning hours of July 5 in downtown Indianapolis near the Artsgarden. In that shooting, two people died and five people were injured. The Gun Violence Archive says four suspects were arrested.

SPEEDWAY, Ind. (WISH) — Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam had the opportunity to drive the pace car for the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which he said was an honor.

Last season was the first full season Siakam played with the Pacers, and the first since he signed a four-year contract worth over $188 million with Indiana.

He shared his love for Indianapolis, and the state of Indiana.

“I want to continue to insert myself in the community,” Siakam said. “This is my home now and I’m super excited to be here. And again, I have a special bond with the state, like Indiana in general, and just being able to be a part of it was awesome and just want to continue to do good for the city, the state and again it’s another cool opportunity to see the people and hang out.”

He also talked about his enjoyment for racing.

“This is a big part of what Indiana is about and I mean, I love racing,” Siakam said. “I love F1. Just being a part of NASCAR now and learning about it, it’s super exciting and to be able to do something like that, it’s pretty cool.”

Siakam was the Eastern Conference Finals MVP in 2025, helping lead the Pacers to their first NBA Finals appearance since 2000.

Siakam averaged 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3.4 assists during the 2024-25 season. He was the Pacers leading scorer.

WHITESTOWN, Ind. (WISH) — Whitestown residents can learn more about a proposal to sell the Boone County town’s water utilities system this week. 

As News 8 has reported, Citizens Energy Group is offering $37 million to buy Whitestown’s water utilities system, which is expected to lead to lower monthly water rates and avoid a multimillion-dollar cost to increase the town’s water capacity.

The Whitestown town government will have a public engagement session starting at 6 p.m. Tuesday inside the Whitestown Municipal Complex, where there will be a presentation on the proposed sale and an opportunity for residents and business owners to ask questions. 

All of Whitestown’s water is already provided by Citizens after the town abandoned its water treatment plant in 2008.

The town has grown from 10,350 to 14,564 residents from 2020 to 2024, according to Stats Indiana. With the rapid growth Whitestown expects in the coming years, the town began negotiations with Citizens to increase its daily water capacity. Whitestown officials said it will cost about $20 million to increase capacity if the sale does not go through.

Whitestown Town Council will hold a second reading on the sale ordinance during a meeting starting at 6 p.m. Aug. 13. If the council accepts Citizens’ bid, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission would need to approve the purchase.

The Whitestown Municipal Complex is at 6210 Veterans Drive.
