An Indianapolis mom is facing multiple charges for allegedly bringing a gun to Valley Mills Elementary school in Decatur Township.

Carrie Rivers charges come after she withdrew her daughter, a sixth grader, from the school on April 9.

Rivers allegedly told police that her daughters teacher had given an assignment dealing with samesex relationships. The teacher told police the assignment was about flags, and that she brought up the flags of several countries and states before referencing the flag in her classroom, which is a rainbow flag with the words be kind on it.

Today will be one of the warmer April days so far as a warm front lifted through overnight. Temperatures will hold steady in the 60s and eventually recover into the low to mid 70s in the early afternoon. A cold front will eventually push through later this afternoon, but the lack of lowlevel moisture will limit rain and storm development for central Indiana. Look for some increased clouds, though.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed the far southeastern tier of Indiana under a level 1 of 5 risk for an isolated severe storm this evening, but the current setup appears this threat will likely stay east of central Indiana counties. Nonetheless, the cold front will shift our winds back from the west overnight ushering in cooler air.

Temperatures will drop into the low 40s by daybreak Tuesday and with gusty winds up to 35 mph at times tomorrow, afternoon high temperatures will be limited to the mid 50s about 10 degrees below average. It will be a quiet day outside the brisk wind with a mix of sun and clouds.
