INDIANAPOLIS - A pregnant teller shot in a bank robbery has lost the
twins she was carrying, and police continued to search for the gunman
Friday.
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.
Complications set in, however, and Shuffield's husband, Jason, said in
a statement that the twins died late Thursday night. He said his 30-
year-old wife remained in critical but stable condition at Methodist
Hospital.
"Katherin's recovery is our top priority and she continues to receive
the best possible care," he said.
Marion County's chief deputy coroner, Alfarena Ballew said she would
examine the twins to determine the causes of their deaths.
Police on Friday released three men arrested in connection with the
robbery, saying a story told to them by a suspect turned out to be
untrue.
All four had been arrested Wednesday and held on preliminary charges
of conspiracy to commit robbery; authorities had said none was
believed to be the gunman.
Marion County chief trial prosecutor David Wyser said several details
that Shed James Jr., 25, told police were inaccurate. He said James
would be charged with false re****ting. Police do not suspect James in
the bank robbery.
"He flat-out lied," Wyser said.
Now that the twins have died, the gunman would be eligible for
feticide or other charges, Wyser said without specifying. He said that
in order for manslaughter charges to be filed in Indiana, Shuffield
would have had to have been at least seven months pregnant.
