Indianapolis case has investigators at work.
In a case that has law enforcement investigators in Indianapolis at work, there is a mother who reportedly shot and injured a convicted child molester who was in the process of attacking her daughter.
The New York Post reported what details are known: That the mother walked in on Bruce Pierce, of Indianapolis, who allegedly was on top of her 12-year-old daughter as the preteen protested “no” at the Baymont Inn.
Citing court documents, the report said there are details missing, but the young victim’s grandmother told police that Pierce previously has been talking with the 12-year-old online and by phone, trying to persuade her to leave town with him.
The situation is at a turning point now, with Pierce under arrest and charged with attempted rape and attempted child molestation.
The report said on the day of the shooting, the victim and her sister woke up their grandmother with concern their mother hadn’t come home. “They went to the inn, where they found the mom and Pierce in the lobby.”
What hasn’t been explained is how Pierce and the victim ended up in a room, but, the report said, “Pierce took the opportunity to allegedly pin her arms to the bed and start ripping some of her clothes before the mother burst in.”
The victim was able to escape Pierce, and mom fired, the report said. The mother and daughter then called police.
A warrant has been issued for Pierce’s arrest.
He previously pleaded guilty to a child molestation charge in 2016.
