- After deputies responded, officials said all persons were secure and unharmed; Gov. Mike Braun condemned targeting officials, called it unacceptable, and pledged Indiana State Police support.
- Amid national mapmaking, the incident underscores bitter infighting over redistricting as Indiana Senate Republicans face growing national attention and rebukes.
