welfare check

Senate Republicans have introduced a bill that aims to target fraud and abuse in Indiana’s welfare programs. Some of it puts the state in line with new federal requirements, but some Democrats worry it could cut eligible Hoosiers from benefits aimed at helping them.

A man was fatally shot by police during a welfare check in Jeffersonville. The man reportedly said he did not believe they were police and that he had a gun. Officers say he pointed the gun out a window.
