INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — As a 76-year-old scoutmaster led two young charges on a nature hike, they stopped to identify a tree — a pause authorities say put them in the path of a man who emerged from a nearby home with a 12-inch knife and stabbed the group’s leader, leaving him to bleed to death on the trail.
The attack Sunday afternoon on the Nickel Plate Trail in Bunker Hill killed Arthur Anderson, a scouting volunteer for 50 years who also mentored young computer whizzes at a local high school.
