According to Indianapolis Metro Police, a chase ensued after a robbery of a Family Dollar store at 51st Street and Keystone Avenue. It ended when the suspect's vehicle crashed into Stepping Stones Child Care at 46th Street and Allisonville Road just after noon. The car caught fire once it hit the building, but it is not known how much damage it caused.

Seventeen children were inside the building when the crash occurred, but only four were injured. Two adults at the day care also sustained injuries as well. Police said none of the injuries were believed to be life-threatening.

Investigators said normally 70 kids attend the day care, but the majority of them were on a field trip to see "Disney on Ice" at Conseco Fieldhouse. The children who attended the show did not return to the day care center and parents were notified to pick up their kids at the Fieldhouse.

Two people inside the car that crashed into the day care were taken into police custody.

"There is possibly a third person involved in this and that is part of the investigation," said Lt. Jeff Duhamell of the Indianapolis Metro Police Department.

Damn. Very happy that none of the children were hurt bad.
As for the people in the car......full penalties. Plus maybe a reccomendation to some preferred inmates in the jailhouse.
When people hurt kids, either directly or indirectly, that doesn't set well with me. So it would be unfair of me to comment objectively.
Take care,stay safe and have fun.
