Attorney General Todd Rokita is asking the Indiana Court of Appeals to dismiss Gary's lawsuit against gun manufacturers and sellers. The lawsuit began in 1999, as the city of Gary tried to hold gun makers and sellers liable for gun violence in the city.

A Democratic lawmaker is reviving a safe storage bill after a spate of unintentional shootings by children.

Law enforcement officials around the state say they’re still struggling to combat rising numbers of gun crimes.
