Good morning! Here are the stories our team will be working on today:

A law passed this legislative session allows people to use high-powered rifles to hunt deer in certain situations. The law will apply to hunting seasons that start after June 30. Follow Statehouse reporter Brandon Smith ( @BrandonJSmith5) for more details about this law.

A recent study from the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that poor people who live in expensive, well-educated cities such as San Francisco tend to live longer than poor people in less affluent places. What does this mean for Hoosiers? Sarah Fentem of partner station WBAA will dig into the numbers for the state of Indiana, which has some of the lowest life expectancy rates in the country. Follow Sarah ( @Petit_Smudge) for updates.
