- An early morning shooting has left a man dead on the east side of Indianapolis. Police say family members found him in an upstairs apartment about 2:45 this morning. They also say it was the second time officers got a call to the area overnight; the first was a report of gunshots.
- Investigators say they’re questioning a ‘person of interest’, but they’re not yet saying if he or she could be the shooter who fired roughly one dozen shots inside a plasma donation center – leading to accounts of chaos, as people pulled IVs out of their arms and ran for cover. One person died in the gunfire. Police are not saying what the motive may have been, but they do say the shooter and the man who died knew each other.
- Election officials in one critical swing state county are warning that it could be two weeks before final results are in. Analysts say Maricopa County, Arizona is often far behind most others because it has far more people than most others, but the lag in result reporting there combined with a likely close Electoral count overall could leave the results of the race for President in question for days or weeks.
