Good morning! Here are some of the top stories today:
From the Associated Press: The recount to confirm the winner of the Democratic primary for southwestern Indiana's congressional seat starts Thursday. The Indiana Secretary of State's Office says the recount will start at the Clay County Circuit Court Clerk's Office in Brazil for the 8th Congressional District. Tallying also will take place at the Vermilion County Circuit Clerk's Office in Newport and the Parke County Circuit Court Clerk's Office in Rockville. Results showed Ron Drake leading former state Rep. David Orentlicher by 68 votes out of nearly 60,000 cast for the May primary. The winner will face Republican Rep. Larry Bucshon in the November election. Bucshon is seeking a fourth term in Congress.
From the Associated Press: A man who allegedly fired shots into an Indianapolis police officer's home as his wife and child slept inside is set to appear before a judge for an initial hearing. No charges had been filed as of Thursday morning against the 27-year-old man, who's being held without bond ahead of an afternoon hearing. The man was recently released from prison on probation after serving five years for unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious felon. Police say the man shouted anti-police obscenities early Tuesday and fired several shots into the home and patrol car of an officer who once arrested him on a weapons charge. The officer was awake inside after working a night shift, while his wife and child were sleeping. No one was injured in the shooting.
From the Associated Press: The AAA Hoosier Motor Club is warning Indiana drivers that the Pokemon Go game is a dangerous distraction. The organization says the smartphone game should not be played while driving because it dramatically increases the chance of a crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says distracted driving is responsible for the deaths of one out of every 10 drivers. AAA Hoosier Motor Club spokesman Greg Seiter says motorists need to put down their phones while driving. He says one quick text or glance to see the next Pokestop could cost a life. The AAA Hoosier Motor Club says passengers should be the only ones in a vehicle glancing at the game screen and searching for characters. They can safely guide drivers throughout an adventure with audible instructions.
