A look at major bank robberies around the globe
Katherin Shuffield, who was five months pregnant, was critically wounded when a masked gunman shot her in the abdomen Tuesday morning at a Huntington Bank branch. Authorities and the family had said the bullets had not hit the twins.
But complications had set in, and one twin was born dead and the other died after birth, said Marion County's chief deputy coroner, Alfarena Ballew.
Shuffield's husband, Jason, said in a statement that the twins died late Thursday night and that his 30-year-old wife remained in critical but stable condition at Methodist Hospital.
"Katherin's recovery is our top priority," he said.
Ballew said that she will examine both of the fetuses to determine the cause of death.
Earlier Friday, authorities said they planned to release three men arrested in connection with the robbery because a story told to them by a suspect turned out to be untrue.
Marion County chief trial prosecutor David Wyser said several details that 25-year-old Shed James Jr. told police were inaccurate.
"He flat-out lied," he said.
Wyser said James would be charged with false reporting, and police will release three other men held on preliminary charges of conspiracy to commit robbery based on James' account.
Prosecutors would examine what additional charges could be filed if the gunman is caught now that the fetuses have died. The gunman would be eligible for feticide or other charges, he said without specifying.
In order for manslaughter charges to be filed in Indiana, Shuffield would have had to have been at least seven months pregnant, Wyser said.
Authorities also are looking for new leads after James' account was discredited. According to a police report, an anonymous caller told authorities Tuesday evening that James had been talking about the robbery. Located by police, James said he helped plan the crime and identified other suspects. But he said he changed his mind about taking part while helping check out the bank and asked to be let out of the car.
In his account, James had described actions of the supposed gunman but said he did not know the man's full name.
Police Lt. Jeff Duhamell called the false report a "bump in the road" of the investigation.
"We've got to keep on going until we know we've got the right people," he said.

Why is that? Isn''t that what Pro-choice believe? More and more in our society there is no regard for human life. We can partly thank abortion on demand for that.
What makes a high profile murder?
The news covers it.
There have been, what, eight of them so far this year?
Wow.
There have been hundreds of murders that aren''t high profile because they don''t make the news.
IF the victim is black, it won''t make the news unless the shooters are cops.
If it is black on black, it only makes the news if one of them is a pro-athlete or family.
Do you really think that the roadside murder of Michael Jordan''s father would have been a high profile case if Michael Jordan had been a janitor somewhere?
It has also been demonstrated that the family of the pretty little white girl who gets kidnapped gets support from the media to get the word out, while the families of pretty little black girls who have the same thing happen to them are ignored.
Ever notice how the little cancer children, who tug at our heart strings, and to whom we are asked to donate money are always white children?
That happens because of white trash like you.
You are a foolish, cowardly racist.
You only pay attention to things that justify your fears.
You don''t have the slightest clue about anyone or anything that doesn''t justify the sense of superiority you get from hating people who don''t look like you.
Your fear of black people is palpable and...effeminate.

In my city that''s not true. I know it might be in other places but last year a 9 year old black kid from the "hood" went missing and they asked the city for help with the search. Neighboring police depts. sent available men to help. Our city went to help and a total of 475 people showed up to help look for her. We''re not a big city just 35,000 and I was glad to see everyone helping out.
I was in one foster home where the woman took the newborn kittens from their Mum tabby and put them in a bag with a rock asked one of us to throw the bag in the pond out back..A foster child did just that.That cat hunted for her babies it was pitiful. Mark did ye put yer dog as it was so sick it was the only ye could do.

My friend did abuse a cat when he was a teen and he now today feels bad about. He said Barbara I wish I never abused that cat.He was abused as a child.

And your hatred and scorn of whites is odoriferous and animalistic.
You little Liberal piece of stink. Anything that does not fit your pigeon-holed world view is automatically condemned as treasonistic.

MichelleM99; this is a news commentary forum, Im sorry if you dont feel its appropriate to comment- I do, and I dont believe in being PC, I call it like I see it and this woman is totally selfish breeding and foisting TWO more kids on an already overpopulated finite environment. Somewhere, sometime, someone has to say ENOUGH OF THIS- ADOPT!!!

Posted by terradaniell"
So what you are saying is you claim you love the first amendment, but only when it suits YOUR concept and criteria, right?
I think its totally selfish and irresponsible to be breeding today, especially given all the problems already caused by too many people at it is, this completely ranks right up there with committing arson in a national forest during severe drought just to see the fire engines.

No, I spoke freely with no PC, I said this woman should not have been even thinking of foisting two MORE babies on this already overpopulated finite environment, ESPECIALLY when there are THOUSANDS of unwanted in foster care and elsewhere! It is extremely SELFISH to breed two more kids, till there are none ADOPT!!
fabrat1
NOPE, I want everyone to adopt so we dont destroy whats LEFT of this planet thru overpopulating it more with unnecessary births.
''Be fruitful and multiply'' did not mean take over the whole dam planet and strip it bare!
We now have over 305 million people when we had 150 million in 1950- it has DOUBLED in our lifetimes.

Why would I need ''pity''? Im not some disabled homeless person living on the street or something! IM not the one who is injured.
This is a public news commentary section not the pity forum or an on-line memorial, I dont even know the woman nor care to, she means nothing to me- we''ll never meet- the stray DOG on the street is of more value to me.
If posting ''condolences'' on a little nothing of a comment forum on one news site of thousands she will never read makes you feel better then go for it, but as long as there is a comments section on a story I feel like commenting on, I will do so. Im sorry if you dont LIKE my comments or dont agree with them, skip them over or read somewhere else if it bothers you that much- I''m 100% against breeding children and 100% against religion, so keep that in mind because when stories come up on those topics you can be sure Ill be in there.
If you are so concerned about over population then you should be in favor of smokers and drinkers and the obese. Or do you not like them because they cost you money? If you saw a person hanging on a ledge of the fifth floor contemplating suicide...would you tell them to jump? Are you in favor of living a healthy life style to your prolong life? If so, WHY?
I would rather see a new life start than keeping the elderly alive forever when their quality of life means wearing diapers and bibs and living in a nursing home and no one to come to visit them!

- You sound such a pervert. Why do you want to behold people from having kids? Ecologically speaking, Earth receives enough energy to daily feed 1,024 Billion people, while we''re merely 6-7 only.
I agree that the population needs to be controlled, as long as we can be selective and keep people like the one that commited this crime from being born. People with attitudes like yours may also fit into this catagory.

"just know that there is something wrong with your metal faculties... and it is MY right to say that."
It is much more than global warming. The Feb issue of National Geographic says the area is returning to a desert climate which is normal. Tree ring research shows the last 100 years is very very wet compared to the rest of last millenium. This is the period of time when all those people settled in the area. The Colorado river will not be able to provide enough water for all those people and farms, perhaps in the next 10 to 20 years.

Killing ANY unborn child, even your own. Should carry a murder charge. It''s NOT your body, when your body is a HOST to another life. If you don''t want kids, control your urges lol.
Liberals love the saying "to each is own", let people live as they want to. Well seems you got what you wanted. A wave of cold senseless murders, increased teen suicides, school shootings - Kids posting beatings on you tube. People of your political beliefs caused this problem.
What''s amazing about liberals and so called moderates is that you are usually pro abortion, but anti gun. You think animals have rights, but an unborn child has none.
You want God out of schools, but more cash being stolen from people via taxes to fund these places when they are a complete failure. Its not an economic problem, a social justice issue.. It''s you (Liberals), you need to sit back and keep yourselves out of public discussion and leadership roles - You have caused enough damage that will take 100''s of years to fix - If Christ doesn''t come back before then !
Conservatives are at fault for every crime ever committed. Its YOUR political beliefs that cause hatred and anger and violence all throughout history.
Liberals didnt even exist in history until only a few hundred years ago. Jesus was a liberal, he was a man who loved and forgave. Those scum that battled him and hated him were You conservatives.
Republicans and their evil supporters are the scum that ruin every society on earth.
Liberals are free thinkers, supporters of human rights, supporters of life and kindness and charity.
Conservative are the Supporters of Greed, hate, racism, murder, War, death, mass destruction, Conquest, Genocide, Perversion, Violence to women and children, Lack of Integrity, Sneaky lying, destroying the Environment for money, backstabbing, revenge filled killers.
Thats your World. You started it, YOu created it, You filled it hatred and intolerance and closet violence and perversion, and child abuse.
You take responsibility for your Wild west of a world heading to oblivion.
U.S. Population Projections: 2005-2050
If current trends continue, the population of the United States will rise to 438 million in 2050, from 296 million in 2005, and 82% of the increase will be due to immigrants arriving from 2005 to 2050 and their U.S.-born descendants, according to new projections developed by the Pew Research Center.
Of the 117 million people added to the population during this period due to the effect of new immigration, 67 million will be the immigrants themselves and 50 million will be their U.S.-born children or grandchildren.
Now if you add 5,000 a day by outlawing abortion;
438 million in 2050 +1,825,000 /Yr 2010 thru 2050 =73,000,000 added persons, PLUS the babies those in turn would have that otherwise would never have been born. Figuring half are females= roughly 36,000,000 rounded out. The ones born in 2010 would be having babies around 2030 and the first crop of that bunch would having babies of their own by 2050. At the very least just going by ONE child per female and not including their babies in turn- that 36 million becomes 72.5 million ADDED to the projected
438 million comes to at least 510.5 million.
Where the Hel1 do you think all those people are going to live, work, and where DOUBLE the food, water, electric, waste disposal, fuel, landfill space and all the rest is going to COME FROM, thin air?
We already have shortages of everything from clean water to electric, oil, land, farmland being built over for condos and malls and the list goes on.
Maybe YOU would like a world as depicted in "Logans Run" where you can only live to age 21 and are executed to make room for more BABIES, or "Soylent Green" but most people WOULDNT- it would be hel1 on earth.
If WE don''t do it, nature will do it for us- diseases are already growing big time, antibiotic resistant strains, all it ill take is one pandemic to do the job, and it''s coming down the pike and it will happen just as all the other have in the past, but this time it will be spread faster, farther and easier by all the plane/train/bus travel and kids jammed in schools spreading stuff and bringing it home to mom/dad.
Yep, the miscarriage was a good thing, natures way of saying STOP, now get spayed before you have a 6th accident.
sblake63
The hel1 it isnt! I firmly believe in a womans RIGHT to choose, right up till the due date, its HER body and without her body''s support theres no fetus. The trouble with you rightwing fetus lovers is you dont see the BIGGER picture of what the human overpopulation scourge is doing to this planet, get it through your head, the planet is a FINITE environment, like any finite environment it simply cannot support growth indefinitely! Either we take the steps to reverse tis or nature will do it FOR us with droughts, crop failures and diseases- and those things dont discriminate- they kill anyone.
A cap on babies is in order, 10 year moratorium, no more tax credit/deductions or other enticements, having 2+ kids should be scourned like someone setting fires in the forest.
I understand what you are saying. I partially agree with some things you say but the rest is a little extreme, don''t you think?
There are women out there (and men) that can''t seem to figure out this birth control business. They just keep spitting out kids one after another. There is also a lot of women that use abortions as their form of birth control.
This world is in sad shape. You have people having children that can''t afford it. Now I could see one child but when you can''t afford it, WHY would you have more?? If both parents have to work in order to have children then maybe they shouldn''t be having them. I believe the major problem with kids and violence today is the fact that they have no one at home paying attention to them. The parents don''t have time to do their other job, LOOKING AFTER THEIR CHILDREN.
People should be made to take a course on how to be parents BEFORE they have them.
______________________________
Jesus was a liberal LOL? I think not. What did he say about divorce? Unless there is infidelity, people who get divorced and re-marry are coming adultery was his word. That doesn''t sound very liberal to me LOL. Oh and if you think he''s a liberal read Math. 10.. I dare U...
What about about his statement about "coming to the father"? He said nobody may come to the father except thru him.... Not very inclusive isn''t it?
And sin is the cause of all crimes committed. But liberals think that calling somebody "wrong" is judgmental. You tried to rewrite the book on what''s right vs. wrong. And look at what you got now? The answers are in the best seller of all time - The Bible!
Sure there were some conservatives that caused problems, death and destruction that''s what the whole concept of original sin was all about. BUT... We are NOT trying to redefine what is "right vs. wrong". Liberals challenge everything, no absolutes. People are confused especially children (don''t believe me? Look at youtube and my space LOL).
I can list several liberals who did HORRIBLE things thru history. Do your research just be quiet!
Murdering people thru abortion is NOT the answer.

Right up to the due date? What a genocidal monster. Hitler would turn gay and marry this guy LMAO. Just reading his posts in support of abortion to control population is sickening. The monsters of history would worship at this guys feet. Idi Amin, Hitler, Stalin... the list goes on..
There is population control lol it''s call natural disasters and disease. If justice be served, lets hope one of the two are headed your way :)

Posted by newster1 at 12:22 PM
??? Yes, let''s just murder humans to control the population ... far be it to make people RESPONSIBLE for their actions!! You are wrong about the earth''s limitations, there is plenty of space & food, we just don''t manage it correctly.
I work in the welfare department so I see first hand how careless we humans are about our responsibilities to the future. The entitlement mentality ... it''s sickening. But to kill a living person is just plain unconscionable.
Maybe if people can''t start being responsible, it should be that people that can''t afford to have a child, should not have a child. Or at least only be able to have one child. The people that can afford it can have two children. But this business of having one child after another isn''t good, especially with the shape things are in now.
I know people that have large families and sometimes the children suffer bigtime because the parents do not have enough time to be able to have one on one time with each child. People need to start being responsible and I don''t see it happening anytime soon.
These ''suspects'' they are releasing...what kind of priors did they have?
You have people having children that cant afford it. Now I could see one child but when you cant afford it, WHY would you have more?? If both parents have to work in order to have children then maybe they shouldnt be having them.
erasmus81
Exactly right, the reason they DO this is because they are selfish and know that without a doubt that if they cant afford to feed THEIR kid etc the TAXPAYERS will foot the all bills for THEIR choice, that includes WIC, food stamps, welfare, tax deductions, free schooling free ''limo'' service door to door to/from school.
OTH you have the pope and the backwards church condemning birth control as an interference with gods ''plan''. I have no problem with abortion for birth control, but its a lot easier and cheaper to use a condo.m- hel1 people who do people should be using one ANYWAY if nothing else- to avoid HIV.
