The latest news is that the pregnant teller, Katherin Shuffield is in critical condition, thankfully her twin babies are expected to survive the ultimate act of cruelty.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Some local ministers used a news conference Wednesday to plead with whoever shot a pregnant bank teller during a robbery the day before, urging him to call them so they can help him surrender to police.

The ministers and other community leaders, flanked by police and a deputy Indianapolis mayor, also urged anyone who knows the man who shot Katherin Shuffield on Tuesday to call police.

Police said a man shot Shuffield -- who is five months pregnant with twins -- in the lower abdomen Tuesday morning as he robbed the Huntington National Bank at 2030 N. Post Road. Shuffield was hospitalized in critical condition Wednesday, and she still is carrying the unborn children, her husband said through hospital staff. Officials said Tuesday that the twins were not struck by the bullet and were not believed to be in immediate danger.

The entire city is on a manhunt for this coward. Everyone is praying for her to pull through. From what I understand she is only 30 years old. Everyone, please say a prayer and the hope that this vicious and callous criminal is caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

It is well known that the leading cause of death of pregnant women is murder. We don't want Katherine to be another statistic, and we as citizens, will not tolerate this in our city.

If anyone has information, please contact the Indianapolis police. Have a conscience and come forward with information so this evil spawn stays behind bars for an eternity--which is what he deserves and worse.

I hope the prisoners in Indianapolis are ready for him...criminals do not take kindly to acts such as this. It is despicable.

PS--I got my "highlight" tool working, PEP!

Michelle, the tornado sirens went off here this afternoon and storms will be moving in during the night and maybe all day tomorrow. Internet usage may be limited for me, so I wanted to encourage you to keep covering this story. It's important. I am so sick of violence against women and children!
