Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Thursday, September 11, 2025.
We begin today with a heavy heart, as all across Indianapolis and Indiana, flags are flying at half-staff. Governor Mike Braun has ordered state and local buildings to lower their flags in remembrance of the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the bravery of first responders. It’s a moment that never fades for our city, and tonight, the community has the chance to gather at the Downtown Canal’s Indiana 9/11 Memorial for the annual 9/11 5k. Registration opens at five and the ceremony begins at six thirty, with the run starting at seven. This special event not only commemorates Patriot Day, but also supports Helping Heroes of America, coming together for the veterans, first responders, and law enforcement we count on every day. Whether you want to walk, run, or simply cheer from the sidelines, everyone is invited to be part of this important tradition.
Shifting to the day ahead, we are enjoying a stretch of September warmth with bright, sunny skies. Patchy fog in low-lying areas cleared quickly this morning, making for a smooth commute. Highs today will climb well into the 80s, so anyone heading out for outdoor activities, school events, or the evening 5k, remember to stay hydrated and wear sunscreen. This dry, sunny weather looks to stick around for a few more days, helping us savor an extended taste of summer.
Now, an important update from city hall: the review and analysis committee is currently reviewing the proposed Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department budget, with a recommendation heading soon to the full City-County Council. This comes at a time when officers are feeling the strain of staff shortages—more decisions expected late this month will shape policing and community safety in the months ahead.
Turning to crime news, it’s been a sobering twenty-four hours. In Lawrence, police responded to a group home on Red Rock Road near Pendleton Pike yesterday afternoon. A confrontation escalated when a man allegedly charged officers with a knife, leading to a fatal shooting. The man’s identity has not yet been released, and thankfully, no officers were injured. Meanwhile, on the north side near Seventy-ninth and Township Line Road, police are investigating a deadly shooting related to a dispute among acquaintances. At this hour, no suspects have been named.
In legal news, the man charged with killing Elwood police officer Noah Chavez comes before the court today, as evaluations for possible insanity and intellectual disability continue. This court case has been followed closely since the tragedy in July 2022 and could have significant implications for public safety.
Let’s talk jobs and the economy. Indianapolis employers have posted just over three thousand new openings this week, largely in healthcare, tech, and logistics. The city’s unemployment rate remains below four percent, signaling steady opportunities for job seekers. In real estate, the median home sale price in Marion County now sits near three hundred and fifteen thousand dollars with slightly more active listings as we move into the fall market.
On a lighter note, business is buzzing downtown as we welcome the soft opening of River’s Edge Café along the White River and a new art supply shop on Mass Ave. Meanwhile, a beloved vintage bookstore on College Avenue announces it will close at the end of the month after nearly forty years, a bittersweet goodbye for many in our community.
In schools and sports, Broad Ripple High School celebrated a big win in girls’ soccer last night, clinching their spot in the city semifinals. And we congratulate the robotics team at Arsenal Tech for advancing to state finals after last weekend’s regional showcase.
Before we go, here’s a simple feel-good moment: neighbors in Fountain Square organized a surprise mural project for crossing guard Mrs. Ellen in honor of her twenty-five years of helping kids get to school—just another reminder of the everyday heroes among us.
