[00:00:09]Good morning and happy Saturday. 8:00 to get your weekend started off. I'm Anna Chalker alongside Angela Buckman. This morning you might feel some sprinkles heading out the door this morning. A little surprise.

[00:00:21]>> Maybe a little surprise, but and know they're not going to last long. So >> that's a great thing.

[00:00:25]>> It is. Go ahead and make the outdoor plans. We've got just a couple of showers to show you on radar this morning, but as I mentioned, they're not going to last long. And the rest of today is going to be dry with some sunshine. In fact, we can already start to see that clearing line south of Chicago that will continue to work its way south. So, we're starting our Saturday with clouds, a couple of spotty showers. I'll take you close uh with radar. No lightning with this, but a few sprinkles around Muny. We've got a few spotty showers uh south of Cooko.

[00:00:55]impacting Typton, uh, Cicero, Sheridan.

[00:00:58]We also have a couple of spotty showers working their way, um, out of Clinton County into portions of Boone County, but that's it this morning. Lots of clouds. These will eventually clear and bring us some sunshine. That's a live view in Carmel on this Saturday morning.

[00:01:13]67 in Indianapolis, 66 in Greencastle, Muny at 65, Crawford'sville at 62, and we're at 61 degrees in Richmond. Clouds this morning. Once we get into mid to late morning, that clearing trend that's south of Chicago will move south. So, we'll get into some sunshine this afternoon and high temperatures will be close to 80. We've got 80 in the forecast today. We'll be close to it tomorrow. Today, it's a morning sprinkle. Tomorrow, it's a late day storm chance and we're going to have to watch these closely as we are under a low threat of severe weather. uh may end up with some hail, damaging winds, and maybe even a couple of tornadoes across the southwestern part of our state and back through portions of southern Illinois and into northwestern Kentucky.

[00:01:58]I'm going to slow this down, give you the local analysis in just a few minutes.

[00:02:04]All right, thanks Angela. And we start this morning with an early morning shooting in downtown Indianapolis that critically injured one man. It happened just before 12:30 on East Washington Street between Pennsylvania and Delaware. When police arrived, they found the man shot and he was taken to the hospital.

[00:02:21]>> Um, what we know is that there was a physical altercation between the victim and two other subjects. Um, one uh of the subjects pulled out a weapon and fired, striking the victim. Um, I want to commend the officers working downtown tonight. They did a fantastic job. A description was put out very quickly.

[00:02:39]IMPD says all suspects are in custody and they want people to know that downtown is safe and they will have a lot of officers patrolling the area this weekend.

[00:02:49]We also had two other shootings overnight across the city. Just before midnight, police were called to Wter Drive on the east side. Here they found a man shot and we're told he is in stable condition. Then just before 1:30 a.m., police were called to King Avenue where they found another person shot.

[00:03:05]They tell us they are in serious but stable condition.

[00:03:14]It's sure to be a big weekend for the Indiana GOP as the Republican party is hosting its state party convention in Fort Wayne. And at the top of the agenda is choosing their nominee for secretary of state. This two-day convention kicked off last night. And our 13 News state house reporter Emily Longnecker is there to cover it all in the action of what's quickly become one of the most watched political contests this election season.

[00:03:38]Yeah, it really has. And some of that is because there is a lot at play here on all sides of this race. We're going to get to that in a moment. But this weekend is about the Indiana GOP here in Fort Wayne and who these delegates decide is the best person to run and win this race in November. Now, historically, that is the incumbent, the person who already has the job. But spoiler alert, that might not be the case this weekend. That's because on the Republican side, this is a four-way contest. The current Secretary of State Diego Morales is facing three other challengers this weekend. Knox County Clerk David Shelton, Max Engling, a former top aid to US Senator Jim Banks, and conservative activist Jamie Wright.

[00:04:20]That's not the only challenge Morales has faced heading into this convention.

[00:04:23]He's also faced calls from some within his own party, including Indiana Attorney General Todd Rakita and Senator Banks to step out of the race over concerns and questions surrounding his electability in November.

[00:04:35]>> I think you have on the line the question of somebody who's served in this office before as an incumbent who has a lot of baggage, a lot of liabilities, a lot of self-imposed controversies, uh, seeking to try to to maintain that position in the office.

[00:04:49]And you see a lot of big names, a lot of important people within Indiana's Republican party saying they don't support him. They they don't want to see him in this role.

[00:04:59]>> Political science professor Dr. Laura Marfield Wilson is talking about concerns surrounding Morales's spending of taxpayer money while in office, including questions around his travel expenses and the hiring of at least one family member at a high salary.

[00:05:12]Questions already being brought up by the Democratic nominee for Secretary of State, Bo Bai. He's not the only one questioning Morales's record. Former Republican Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard is trying to get on the ballot in this race as an independent. Ballard has said he wants to restore dignity to the office. Despite the questions and calls to step aside, Morales has declined, continuing to seek the votes of the 18800 delegates who will make the final decision. Emily Longnecker, 13 News.

[00:05:41]We'll have a full recap of the convention on this week's episode of Crossroad Politics. It's available on the free WTR streaming app starting Sunday morning at 10. We'll also have more from Emily tonight on our 6 PM stream show and 11 o'clock newscast.

[00:05:57]Now to Martinsville where the city is making room for a new positive memory.

[00:06:01]Our Alex Almanza shows us how it's reflecting on its history and may be beginning to change the story this Junth weekend.

[00:06:11]>> In Martinsville, history has a long echo. For decades, this town has carried a painful reputation tied to racism, including the 1968 murder of Carol Jenkins. Even though the man later charged in Jenkins killing was not from Martinsville, her death became part of the town's fabric.

[00:06:29]But now, the page in the book is not only being turned.

[00:06:32]>> SO, GIVE YOURSELVES A HAND, EVERYBODY.

[00:06:33]WE DID IT.

[00:06:36]>> It's being rewritten.

[00:06:37]>> Is literally standing room only in Martinsville, Indiana. uh on Junth our first one and my it's just phenomenal.

[00:06:46]>> Janine Lee Farah has lived here for six years. She used to live in Muny where the holiday has been celebrated for decades. But she thought why not introduce Junth to Martinsville.

[00:06:56]>> Blink twice, you know, if if you're being held hostage kind of thing.

[00:07:00]Stockholm syndrome. No, it's not Stockholm syndrome.

[00:07:03]>> But you don't have to blink to see the celebration is a big hit. But just like I know I've changed from 30 years ago, it's good to see that Martinsville is trying to change and trying to lead a new legacy.

[00:07:14]>> What better way to ring in that new legacy through prayer, hugs, and the thing that brings us all together, food.

[00:07:21]To see this kind of success, Farah says it restores her faith in humanity.

[00:07:25]>> People are tired of the division.

[00:07:28]They're tired of u people backbiting and being hateful and nasty. This is us coming together and saying, you know, we're taking the first step.

[00:07:37]>> The first step in what organizers hope becomes a new tradition in a town still working through its past in Martinsville. Alex Almanza, 13 News.

[00:07:46]>> Other Junth events are taking place this weekend. And happening right now is the Run for Wellness at White River State Park. Throughout the race, you can stop by local vendors and check out food options. Then at the state fairgrounds, there's a parade, festival, and fireworks show. This is from 4 to 10 tonight. And on Sunday, celebrate with live performances from black artists at Crown Hill Cemetery. That also starts at four and it'll go till
