Good day to you on this windy Thursday…
All of us here in Indiana may be spared the rain that drenched parts of Illinois and Wisconsin, but the state is going to get blasted by high winds. If you step outside you can feel them. The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory until 7:00 tonight. Forecasters say wind gusts above 50 miles an hour are possible.
The community will gather tomorrow and Saturday to remember the life of an Indianapolis broadcasting legend, our colleague, Amos Brown. Brown’s funeral will be on Saturday at Light of the World Christian Church at 11 a.m. His calling will be tomorrow from Noon until 6 p.m. at the church and again on Saturday morning an hour before his funeral. The church is located at 4646 North Michigan Road. The popular host of Afternoons With Amos died suddenly at his parent’s home in Chicago of an apparent heart attack last Friday at the age of 64.
Investigators say it appears the pastor’s wife who died after being attacked and shot in the head in her northwest side home, was trying to defend herself. Police say Amanda Blackburn likely fought with whoever broke in on herself and her small child. The 28-year-old pregnant mom died on Wednesday.
Police were able to use a stun gun on a man firing a pistol into the air downtown last night. IMPD officers say it happened at 9th and Delaware shortly before midnight. Police say the man was firing into the air and pointing his gun at passing cars. Officers surrounded him, ordered him to drop the gun, then took him down.
The first identified victim of the Jared Fogle sex scandal is speaking out. The 16-year-old girl will be on today’s episode of “Dr. Phil” to talk about how her life has been affected since learning she was secretly recorded at the age of 14. Cameras were placed throughout her home by Russell Taylor, the former Executive Director of The Jared Foundation.
Tensions remains high on the campus of the University of Missouri despite two arrests for threats of violence against African-Americans. Two white students were taken into police custody on Wednesday for making the threats.
Today is a real record-breaker. It’s the 11th annual Guinness World Records Day. Thousands of people will gather in places around the world as they try to set all kinds of records. The event commemorates a record. November 12th, 2004 is the day the Guinness Book of World Records became the world’s best-selling copyright book. You can check out the Guinness real-time blog for updates on record attempts around the world.
Sports…
Paul George led Indiana to its fifth win in six games last night as the Pacers dropped the Celtics at TD Garden, 102-91. George had 26 points and 10 boards in this matchup. C.J. Miles put up 17 points for the 5-and-4 Pacers. Indiana shot 48-percent from the field while the 3-and-4 Celtics were just under 42-percent. The Pacers host the Timberwolves tomorrow night.
