HIGHLAND, Ind. (WLS) — Charges are pending against the owners of a group of dogs that injured multiple people when they attacked a woman in Northwest Indiana Tuesday.
Police said the woman was walking her dog, a shepherd mix, in the 3500 block of Jewett Street when as many as 10 other dogs apparently escaped their backyard and went after them.
The woman was hospitalized with arm and leg injuries sustained when she tried to protect her dog. Three bystanders who tried to help were also bitten.
The attack finally stopped when an unknown man showed up and fatally shot one of the aggressive dogs. That dog died at the scene, police said.
The victim’s shepherd mix had to be euthanized due to the severity of its injuries.
Along with the possible charges, the pack’s owners could have their dogs taken away. The president of the Highland Town Council said a hearing will be held to determine if the dogs should be declared “dangerous animals.”

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Many locations in central Indiana picked up beneficial rain with yesterday’s storms. Pleasant air will now move in following this system.
TODAY: Mostly sunny skies. Dew points will drop into the comfortable category by the afternoon. Winds will be sustained out of the north at 10 to 15 mph with gusts to 25 mph. High temperatures in the mid-70s.
TONIGHT: We will have our coolest morning since June 11. Mostly clear skies remain. Low temperatures in the low to mid-50s.
TOMORROW: Another refreshing day. The first day of July will feature plenty of sunshine with high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s.
8-DAY FORECAST: Our pleasant air is only temporary. Temperatures will build after Monday as a warm front crosses Indiana. This will also drive up our rain chances Wednesday to Friday with the frontal boundary stalling out in the Midwest. Unfortunately, the 4th of July will be included in these rain chances, but we should know more about the timing of rain as we get closer.

Happy hour is back in Indiana
![Happy hour is back in Indiana](https://www.wishtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/30/HAPPY-HOUR-COMIN-TO-TOWN-PKG_frame_1609-e1719710464404.jpg)
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — On Monday, happy hour will again be legal in the state of Indiana after nearly 40 years.
Happy hour was first banned in 1985 in an effort to curb drunk driving. The effort has proven to be less than effective, according to several studies, including one done by Suffolk University.
In March, Gov. Holcomb signed House Bill 1086, officially making happy hour legal again in the Hoosier state.
Indianapolis restaurants are welcoming the change. Up until now, if eateries wanted to offer discounted rates, they were required to do so for the entire day.
“Prior to this, you weren’t able to do it for a finite amount of time, you could only do it the entire day, from the time you open the doors to the time you close,” Managing Partner of The Oakmont and Vicino Gus Vazquez said.
The law does have a few stipulations.
Restaurants can offer up to four hours a day as a part of their “happy hour” and a total of 15 hours a week. The hours can never fall between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m.
Vazquez and his team were quick to get to develop a plan for their happy hours at both The Oakmont and Vicino, which will run between 3 and 6 p.m. between Monday and Friday.
“It’s been so long since Indiana has had the chance to have a happy hour,” Vazquez said. “Our plan of action is to offer our guests some items that normally wouldn’t be offered to our guests during that time or some of our favorites at a discounted price.”
The managing partner also spoke on the impact the change has on people visiting the Circle City.
The restaurants often host those visiting Indianapolis for conventions and sporting events.
“Just today we had a couple from out of town come in, and ask if we had a happy hour either today or during the week…so ironically we told them that July first we’d be rolling it out,” Vazquez said. “I feel like a lot of the people that are visiting the city will feel at home even when they’re not at home.”
