A mother in Indianapolis shot a man on May 24, 2025, who was allegedly trying to rape her 12-year-old daughter in a hotel room.
WFLA reported that the girl’s mother went to the hotel with Bruce Pierce, the alleged culprit. The 12-year-old came to the hotel with a relative in order to find her mother and, upon doing so, waited in the room while the mother went down to get luggage.
The mother returned to find Pierce allegedly on top of the young girl, trying to tear off her clothing.
Pierce was armed, but so was the mother, and the mother pulled her gun and began shooting, critically wounding Pierce.
WTHR noted that an investigation is underway, and the 12-year-old’s grandmother indicated that “a man named Bruce Pierce had been communicating with the 12-year-old online and over the phone.”
Give that Mom a medal for community service!!
Governor Wes Moron would have her up on Murder charges,
and he build a statue of the rapist
Not a single juror-of-her-peers would vote to convict.
They may recommend training on centering the shot group to deadlier areas though!
Something doesn’t seem right about that story. The mother went there with the guy, with luggage! Something just doesn’t make sense. If she was planning to stay with him long enough for her to need luggage, why did the 12 year old have to come later with a relative to find her? Why didn’t she bring her daughter along with her in the first place? Was she planning to kill him all along and the daughter just provided a plausible excuse? And why did she bring a gun if not to use it? I’m suspicious, to say the least.
