Listen Later

Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Friday, December 13, 2024.

We're starting off with some breaking news from the past few days. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is investigating a double shooting on the city's near north side that left two people dead. This incident occurred just a few days ago, and police are still looking for leads[3].

In other news, the Indiana State Police are dealing with a challenging situation where the parents of a missing child are no longer cooperating with the investigation. This case has been ongoing, and the lack of cooperation is making it difficult for authorities to find the missing child[1].

Moving on to the job market, we have some positive news. According to Robert Half Recruiters & Employment Agency, hiring is expected to pick up in the first half of 2024, with nearly 60% of companies planning to add new full-time jobs and 39% looking to fill vacated positions. This is exciting news for those looking for new opportunities in the Indianapolis area[2].

The current unemployment rate in Indiana stands at 3.6%, which is slightly lower than the national rate of 3.7%. There are currently around 93,000 open job postings throughout the state, with industries like professional and business services, private educational and health services, and manufacturing seeing significant job increases[5].

In real estate news, we don't have any major updates today, but we'll keep an eye on any significant property sales or new development projects in the coming days.

From city hall, there are no major decisions affecting daily life to report today, but we'll continue to monitor any changes that might impact our community.

Weather-wise, we're expecting a brief break from the cold today, with temperatures expected to rise slightly. However, we're looking at a return to colder conditions by the weekend. Make sure to check the latest forecast before planning your outdoor activities.

In business news, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today, but we'll keep you updated on any significant changes in the local business scene.

Looking ahead to community events, the Marion County Fair is just around the corner, and we'll have more details on that in the coming days.

In local school achievements, we don't have any specific updates today, but we'll highlight any notable achievements or sports results in our future broadcasts.

On a positive note, the Indianapolis community came together recently to rescue an owl stuck in a soccer net, showcasing the city's compassionate spirit[3].

In today's crime report, the IMPD is investigating several incidents, including a fatal stabbing in Lawrence and a shooting on the city's near east side. We urge everyone to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities[3].
