Details are a bit sketchy at this point, but a brave Indiana mother reportedly shot a convicted child molester several times to protect her preteen daughter.
The suspect, identified as Bruce Pierce of Indianapolis, was critically injured and faces a slew of charges if or when he recovers.
Mother did not hesitate to protect her young daughter from the violent attack
It is unclear exactly how this scenario unfolded, but Pierce was briefly alone in a hotel recently with the child when the alleged attack occurred. The mother reportedly went to her car for some belongings before walking back into the room and finding the disturbing scene.
The child’s clothing was torn when the mother reappeared.
She fired multiple shots to defend her baby, and Pierce may well be fortunate to be alive today. Certainly, the alleged attack ended, and the child was saved.
Suspect escaped with his life but faces a host of charges upon recovery
Investigators discovered that Pierce also had a weapon at his disposal during the confrontation but was unable to fire any shots at the mother.
Local media reported that Pierce was charged with child molestation in 2016 and sentenced to serve eight years behind bars. He now faces charges of attempted rape, attempted child molestation, unlawful possession of a firearm, and confinement.
No matter the details, it is difficult to imagine a scenario where the mother is in legal hot water for protecting her child. The presence of a loaded weapon, unlike what rabid anti-gunners preach, was a force for good and may have saved a young girl’s life.
These are the stories that need to be told. Accounts that irrefutably prove that law-abiding citizens are using their legal firearms every day to protect themselves and their loved ones from violent criminals.
