INDIANAPOLIS — A new curfew is in effect for the next 120 days for youth in Indianapolis. City-County Council approved a new curfew at Monday night's meeting.
Under the new proposal, children 14 and under will not be allowed out after 9 p.m. on any day. Children 15 to 16 cannot be out later than 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
17-year-olds were removed from the curfew hours when councilors passed the final vote.
The curfew is a response to violent incidents involving teens that happened last month, specifically, the mass shooting downtown over the 4th of July holiday.
