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.

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.

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.”

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.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Team Collier took down Team Clark in the WNBA All-Star Game, 151-131.
