The pregnant wife of a pastor in
Indiana has died after being shot in the head during a home invasion. Amanda Blackburn, 28, was shot in
her Indianapolis home as she tried to defend herself and her one-year-old son,
Weston, from a burglar on Tuesday morning, police said. She was pronounced dead
on Thursday.
Her husband, Resonate Church pastor
Davey Blackburn was at the gym when the incident occurred and came home to find
his wife wounded at about 8.30am.
The suspect is still on the loose
and police are offering a $1,000 reward to anyone with information. Officers
are still investigating the incident.

Neighbors of the Blackburns said that
they don't live in the 'type of neighborhood' where incidents like
Tuesday's home invasions usually occur
Three
hours before Blackburn was found, a home close to the victim's was
burglarized and electronics and other valuables were taken, according to
WTHR.
Police said it's unclear if the break-in and the shooting are connected.
Friends and family told WYFF that Blackburn,
along with her husband, had recently announced that she was 12 weeks
pregnant with the couple's second child.
