Pregnant Wife Of Indianapolis Pastor Killed In Home Invasion

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The pregnant wife of an Indianapolis pastor has died after police said she was shot during a robbery at her home.

Marion County Coroner’s office manager Marchele Hall said Thursday that 28-year-old Amanda Blackburn was pronounced dead Wednesday. She had been on life support since the shooting Tuesday morning.

Hall says an autopsy will be performed Thursday.

The Indianapolis Star reports that Indianapolis police believe the shooting took place during a robbery, but have revealed few details.

Amanda and Davey Blackburn moved from South Carolina to found the Resonate Church in Indianapolis in 2012. The independent church is located on Indianapolis’ north side.

The couple had recently announced that Amanda Blackburn was 12 weeks pregnant. They already had a toddler son, Weston.

  1. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that the husband did it.

  2. My thought exactly, I’m sorry to say.

  3. Let’s see how this passion play goes:

    Pastor does like so many pastors do; uses his position to further a sordid sexual affair with congregant
    Pastor realizes that hot sex with other woman is pretty awesome
    Pastor decides wife is a burden and boring
    Pastor figures out a way to get rid of wife
    Pastor thinks he’s smartest guy in room
    Pastor meets “John Law”

    If this sounds crazy, please search for the horrific true story of Dallas, TX pastor “Walker Railey”.

  4. We’re doing yellow journalism on home invasions now?
