A grand jury has indicted two Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers for shooting a Black man who was sleeping in a car parked outside his grandmother's house, a prosecutor said Friday.

Officers Carl Chandler and Alexander Gregory were indicted on battery and criminal recklessness charges in connection with the December 31 predawn shooting of Anthony Maclin on the city's north side, Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said.

Maclin's attorney, Stephen Wagner, said the officers fired at least 30 shots, hitting his client three times and leaving him hospitalised for 17 days for six surgeries.

Police had found Maclin asleep with a gun next to him in the driver’s seat before officers knocked on a car window and said, “Police. Hands up,” the police department said in a news release at the time.

“While Anthony had a firearm in the car — and a license to carry the firearm — he never reached for the gun,” Wagner said in a statement.

“He never had the gun in his hand, and he certainly did not point the gun at officers.

"Anthony’s only ‘offence’ was being a young black man in a high crime neighbourhood.”

Maclin and his family want Gregory and Chandler to be suspended without pay and fired by the police merit board, Wagner said.

It wasn't clear whether the officers have attorneys who might comment on their behalf.

A telephone message was left for an attorney who often represents Indianapolis police officers.

The police department said at the time that investigations of the shooting were being conducted by the department, one by its Critical Incident Response Team and the second by its Internal Affairs division.

A P-plater has been caught allegedly drink driving twice in 12 hours northwest of Melbourne.

The 29-year-old's red Mazda was first pulled over when he was allegedly caught speeding on the Western Freeway in Myrniong on Thursday about 6pm.

"After a positive roadside reading, he was taken to a police station and returned an evidentiary breath test of 0.133," Victoria Police said in a statement.

"The man's license was immediately suspended, and he was issued with infringement notices for drink driving, exceeding the speed limit by 20km/h and failing to display p-plates."

Police were called back to the Western Highway 12 hours later, this time at Warrenheip, in relation to a suspected drink driver who had crashed into a pole.

"The driver and sole occupant of the vehicle, the same 29-year-old Epping man from the previous incident, was assessed at the scene and taken back to a police station where he returned an evidentiary breath test 0.134," Victoria Police said.

"Police discovered his infringement notices and paperwork regarding his licence suspension inside the crashed vehicle."

He was charged with exceeding the prescribed concentration of alcohol and driving whilst suspended.

The man has been bailed and is due to face Ballarat Magistrates Court in November

"Whilst this incident is an isolated incident it does highlight the fact that some people still aren't getting the message or are so self-absorbed, they don't care about other road users," Ballarat police senior sergeant Paul Maslunka said.

"Realistically we deal with less than one per cent of road users doing the wrong thing throughout the year but it's that group that are consistently involved in causing road trauma.

"I'd like to acknowledge the other 99% out there who are doing the right thing and encourage everyone to do their part to keep the roads safe this long weekend."



Daylight saving is set to kick in on Monday next weekend for most parts of Australia, while some states will also mark a long weekend.

Clocks will jump forward by an hour in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, the ACT and South Australia on October 1.

The change means longer, lighter days as summer draws nearer, and potentially a few days of confusion if you forget to change the clock on your microwave in time.

When is daylight saving?

Clocks will jump forward by an hour on Sunday, October 1 in states and territories which follow daylight savings, meaning they will technically lose an hour that day.

Are we gaining or losing an hour?

States and territories which follow daylight saving will lose an hour on Sunday, October 1.

But that hour will be regained when clocks go back an hour on April 7, 2024, as daylight saving comes to an end.

Do we put the clocks forward or backwards?

In October, the clock goes forward in states which follow daylight saving.

It might mean an hour less sleep that Sunday morning, but it does mean the evenings will become longer and lighter as the summer comes on.

Most clocks linked to technology, such as phones, computers and TVs, will automatically jump from 2am to 3am on October 1.

Analogue clocks, watches, car radio displays, and microwave and oven clocks will most likely need to be adjusted manually.

When does daylight saving end?

Daylight saving will last until Sunday, April 7, 2024, when the clocks will go back one hour.

Once daylight saving ends, all the eastern states will be aligned in time again, with the only time difference due to east-west longitude.

Which states and territories are affected by daylight saving?

New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and Norfolk Island observe daylight saving.

Queensland, the Northern Territory, Western Australia, Christmas Island or the Cocos (Keeling) Islands don't follow daylight saving, so their time does not change throughout the year.

What will the time difference be between states and territories?

From October until April, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania will all be in the same Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) zone.

Queensland will stay on Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) and will be one hour earlier than the eastern daylight saving states.

South Australia will follow Australian Central Daylight Time (ACDT) and will be half an hour behind the eastern daylight saving states.

The Northern Territory will stay on Australian Central Standard Time (ACST) and will be an hour and a half behind eastern daylight saving states.

Western Australia will stay on Australian Western Standard Time (AWST) and will be three hours behind eastern daylight saving states.

Does Queensland use daylight saving?

No, but the prospect of daylight saving has been the subject of lively debate in the Sunshine State for decades.

Every year as October rolls around, most Brisbane and Gold Coast residents lament being left out.

But Queensland is huge, and as is the case with many things, the south-east corner has a different opinion to the rest of the state.

The state's sweltering north and west are not yearning for more hours in the afternoon sun – quite the opposite.

Queensland last trialled daylight saving from 1989 to 1992.

After the trial, Queenslanders were asked to vote in a referendum with the question: "Are you in favour of daylight saving?"

A 54.5 per cent "no" vote was returned.

Unsurprisingly, the "no" vote was strongest in the north and west while the south-east returned a strong "yes" vote.

Is the US ending daylight saving?

Earlier this year, bills were introduced in the US Congress which proposed an end to daylight saving time – by making it permanent.

Since then, there has been no significant action on either proposal to make daylight saving time effective year-round.

As it stands, daylight saving time in the US will end on November 5, 2023.

Which country started daylight saving time?

Daylight saving was first adopted in 1908 in Thunder Bay, Canada, as a way to make better use of daylight.

Germany then started starting changing clocks to conserve daylight and reduce the use of fuel in 1916 during World War I.

There has been debate in Queensland about introducing the measures, which happen in 70 countries worldwide, but it is currently excluded.

The October long weekend is a welcome public holiday for many people around Australia – but not everyone gets to enjoy it.

While some states and territories have Labour Day off in the coming weeks, others have a different public holiday, and a couple miss out on a day off altogether.

Here's who gets a public holiday in October, and which states and territories don't.

Will I get a public holiday in October?

If you live in New South Wales, Queensland, the ACT or South Australia, you get to enjoy a public holiday today: Monday, October 2.

NSW, the ACT and SA all mark Labour Day today, while Queenslanders have the day off for the King's Birthday.

If you live in any other part of Australia – Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory – you're out of luck, as there's no October public holiday in your state or territory.

However, some jurisdictions do have public holidays around the same time.

While Victoria doesn't have a public holiday in October, it still has a long weekend on the first weekend of the month, thanks to the AFL grand final day public holiday on Friday, September 29.

It also has Melbourne Cup Day as a public holiday on the first Tuesday of November.

Western Australia is the other state with a public holiday in late September.

It celebrates the King's Birthday on Monday, September 25 – although some regional areas hold the public holiday on a different date.

Tasmania misses out on public holidays in September and October, but parts of the state enjoy a day off for Recreation Day on November 6.

Northern Territory residents have the shortest straw here – there's no public holiday in the NT from now until Christmas Eve.
