INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Part of President Joe Biden’s Thursday executive action aimed at reducing gun violence is a push for all states to adopt a national red flag law.
Indiana’s version already exists: It’s called the Jake Laird Law, named after an Indianapolis police officer who was shot and killed by a man who struggled with mental illness.
The law allows police to take guns away from a person they believe to be dangerous or mentally unstable.
Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said the president’s push for this type of law is something leaders in every state should get behind.

Fatoumata Danson s family members are horrified, saying the man should rot in jail for the rest of his life.
Danson allegedly told the 22-year-old he needed to find a job on Tuesday, enraging him. Because he’s a lazy bastard… and my sister told him to get a job, threw him out of the house… and this was his reaction,” Danson s brother, Yaku Basangari, told NBC News NYC.
