2 juveniles held for creating school 'hit list' \nNASHVILLE, Ind. -- Police arrested two freshmen at Brown County High School on intimidation charges Tuesday, the day after the discovery of a suspected hit list with the names of 20 other students and six teachers.\nThe two students, ages 14 and 15, were arrested in an administrator's office at the school Tuesday afternoon, said Jim Robinson, chief deputy of the Nashville Police Department. The students, whose names were not immediately released, were to be held at juvenile detention facilities in Columbus or Franklin, he said.\nAssistant Principal Abbie Olson had found the printed list of "people to kill" about 8 a.m. Monday near a section of student lockers at the school about 20 miles east of Bloomington.\nThe discovery prompted a lockdown at the school of some 750 students Monday. Students passed through metal detectors Tuesday, and several uniformed police officers were present, said David Shaffer, assistant superintendent of Brown County School Corp.\nInvestigators have not discovered any evidence the arrested students intended to harm anyone.
Price for new trash stickers increased\nTaking out the trash has just gotten more expensive for Bloomington residents, as well as students living off-campus. As soon as the clock struck midnight Jan. 1, yellow general trash stickers went up to $2 each, while new dark green yard waste stickers will cost $1, according to a statement by the City of Bloomington.\nThe new fees mark the first increase in the cost of trash and yard waste stickers since Bloomington's "pay-as-you-throw" system was implemented in 1993, according to the statement.\n"The new sticker prices were needed to ensure that the increasing costs of waste disposal are paid for by those who use the system. Everyone pays only for the trash they generate," said Public Works Director Julio Alonso in a statement. \nTrash and yard waste stickers are available at local stores, as well as at the Public Works Department in City Hall, Suite 130; the Utilities Customer Service Center, 1969 S. Henderson St. They can also be ordered by mail, with a $10 minimum order, by contacting the Public Works Department at 349-3410 for purchase-by-mail information.
Highway shooter considered unfit for trial\nANGOLA, Ind. -- A man who authorities say shot at several vehicles on a northeastern Indiana highway remains unfit to stand trial and is being treated at a state mental hospital, a court report said.\nDonald William Myers III, 26, of Angola, has been under observation at Logansport State Hospital since early September, a little more than four months after the April 29 shootings and standoff with about 75 police officers along U.S. 20.\nMyers was shot in the groin and shoulder area during the three-hour standoff and was hospitalized for about two weeks before being jailed on charges that include six counts of attempted murder.\nNo one else was hurt in the shootings, but shotgun shot traces were left on some of the vehicles, including the windshield glass of a semi, court documents said. The standoff happened east of Interstate 69 some 40 miles north of Fort Wayne.
