Mom Shoots Convicted Child Molester as He Is Caught Assaulting Her Daughter

In a case that has law enforcement investigators in Indianapolis searching for answers, there is a mother who reportedly shot and injured a convicted child molester who was in the process of assaulting her daughter.

This from wnd.com.

The New York Post reported what details are known:

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 noted:

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 stated:

On the day of the shooting, the victim and her sister woke up their grandmother with concern their mother had not come home.

Further:

They went to the inn, where they found the mom and Pierce in the lobby.

What has not been explained is how Pierce and the victim ended up in a room, but the report stated:

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 report stated:

The victim was able to escape Pierce and mom fired. The mother and daughter then called police.

A warrant was issued and Pierce has been arrested.

Pierce previously pleaded guilty to a child molestation charge in 2016.

Final thoughts: Nice would be follow-up information detailing the mother’s range work to improve her shooting skills.
