INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Ivy Tech Community College on Friday opened a new biopharmaceutical lab.
Ivy Tech officials say the Biopharma Science & Technology Lab will facilitate hands-on learning experiences for students. The lab is north of downtown Indianapolis in the Illinois Fall Creek Center at 2535 N. Capitol Ave.
Officials say the new lab will launch or advance careers in biopharmaceutical manufacturing through customized education and training.
Stacy Atkinson, chancellor of Ivy Tech, said at a ribbon-cutting on Friday, “I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride and excitement for what this moment represents. The state-of-the-art lab behind me is not just a physical space. It’s a beacon of opportunity for our Ivy Tech students, your future employees. It represents our unwavering commitment in providing the highest quality of education and hands-on experience that will empower our students to thrive in the dynamic field of pharmaceutical manufacturing.”

Indianapolis police search for 3 people after shooting, stolen vehicle crash
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — After a shooting, Indianapolis police were searching for three people who fled on foot following the pursuit of a stolen vehicle and its crash on Thursday afternoon.
No information was provided in the notification about the three people being sought. News 8 reached out to IMPD by email to find out details about the three people. Anyone with information regarding the incident or the people who fled the crash was asked to contact the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
The stolen vehicle was linked to a Thursday shooting, prompting the lockdown of a nearby child care center, IMPD said in a media notification. No information was provided about where the shooting happened, what may have led to it, or whether anyone was hurt.
IMPD, however, said the stolen vehicle and crash were not related to a shooting reported at 12:35 p.m. Thursday at a gas station and restaurant at West 38th and Meridian streets.
IMPD officers found the stolen vehicle around 12:45 p.m. Thursday near East 38th Street and Post Road. When a detective attempted a traffic stop, the vehicle fled westbound before crashing a short time later near Whenner Drive, the notification said. It did not say what type of vehicle was abandoned in the crash.
Three people from the crashed vehicle fled southwest on foot. IMPD established a perimeter with assistance from the Indiana State Police, the Lawrence Police Department and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office — using specialized resources, including a state police helicopter, a special weapons and tactics team, and the IMPD’s police dogs — but did not find the three people.
IMPD said a firearm was found in the crashed vehicle, and a man detained at the crash scene was later released once investigators determined he was not directly involved in the incident.
Police have since lifted the lockdown on the child care center.
IMPD’s public information office can be reached at 317-327-3424.
