Pastors wife shot in Indy.

[snowwalker]

Yeah. Our daughter goes there and that is our church.

Fundy circles are generally very small.

Is Fundy some kind of abbreviated word for fundamentalist or the meaning of a water outlet on the Atlantic coast? I never heard that word before and had to look it up. Just curious.

 

[HoughMade]

Is Fundy some kind of abbreviated word for fundamentalist....

yes, but there's "fundamentalists", then there's "fundamentalists".

I like to think I put the "fun" in fundamentalist.

I have a system...If I want to learn one new word I read twenty of houghmade's posts and at some point I will have to look something up...

He's an educated man with a blue collar soul...Rare these days....

Breaking news just said the husband is 100% cleared. That's a relief.

i know they have to do the due diligence, but prior to the news saying he was cleared, was there any thought that he was actually involved?

I take that as a profound compliment. I come from humble roots. Both parents grew up on the farm and while my Dad was an electronic and software engineer in the biomedical field (with 4 patents), he is a humble simple man who seldom hired work done and simply learned to do it himself. He passed that on. Both he and I not-so-secretly wished we were back on the farm....but face it, we have good gigs.

I hope they find the criminal who did this.

Indeed, they may not have to look far at all. You never know.

Well, it's the first place you start looking.

 

[HoughMade]

I understand that (which makes sense) on the police side, I mean was there anything out there publicly before they announced "cleared"?

When the local news channel ( Fox 59 ) aired this story tonite the report contained a sentence that the husband "was not suspected." I guess the police always must rule out a husband as being involved - but, I'm not certain that needed to be said on air. I would think that would cause potential grief and/or possible misunderstanding from some folks only hearing part of the story or believing what they might want to hear.

Certainly human nature can dictate that literally anyone could be capable of something, but in this case from the description of the Christian background and nature of this man and woman it seems implausible at best. That's why I didn't feel it necessary for the newscaster to make that comment in the report.

The public sees these stories and who do they think did it? The husband is always the public's first suspect, statistically they are usually responsible, so saying he is ruled out is used to address those ideas. Time will tell if they were right.

A an elderly couple I work with knows them and just told me today. Sad.

it mentioned she had recently announced she was pregnant, I was told she was 12 weeks along. Hope they catch this guy and words makes its way around the prison he's a child killer too.

 

[Dead Duck]

That's pretty damn low.....

 

[Amishman44]

What a sad time for the Blackburn family...prayin' for the husband, son, parents, etc. who will be forever changed for the rest of their lives due to their loss!

I don't believe anything the news says unless I can confirm three other places. They get so much wrong!

 

[Joniki]

This makes me sick to my stomach. The good lord gives us tools to protect our family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends.

 

[Woobie]

Yeah. Our daughter goes there and that is our church.

Fundy circles are generally very small.

I graduated from there back in '01. And I remember playing Community from South Bend.

This is really sad beyond words. My heart goes out to the family she leaves behind. This is a good reminder to go over the security protocols at our house, and to try to get the wife more serious about preparing to use the last resort.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way.

 

[grogie]

I'm sorry to hear this. My mom once knew her husband's dad. Small word.

 

[cbhausen]

What kind of sub-human monster does something like this to a pregnant woman defending a toddler? I don't know how she attempted to defend herself and her family but it is very sad she was unsuccessful in doing so.

One of my long-time friends lives a few houses down on the same street.
