• An Indianapolis, Indiana, Starbucks location in the city’s downtown area is the latest to close due to public safety concerns, setting off confusion among some business owners and community members who say they have not seen crime concerns.
• “We were not made aware of any type of safety concerns,” Commander Phil Burton with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s Downtown District told Fox 59. “We’re doing everything that we can to ensure the safety of those that actually live, work, and visit downtown, so it really comes as an unfortunate incident, Starbucks not reaching out to myself as the commander, let alone my community relations sergeant or any officer for that matter.”
• The location at Monument Circle will close as of Oct. 28, according to local reports.
