Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi said Wednesday the state Legislature should change the state fetal homicide law requiring fetuses to be viable, The Indianapolis Star reported. He appeared at a news conference with two Republican state legislators from Indianapolis.

"This is a sad and tragic catalyst for change in the law," Sen. James W. Merritt Jr. said.

Katherin Shuffield, who was five months pregnant, was shot April 22 during a robbery at a Huntington Bank branch. She survived with serious injuries but suffered a double miscarriage.

Police had made no arrests as of Wednesday.

Brizzi pointed out that anyone convicted in the case might face as much as a century behind bars for the robbery and for shooting Shuffield but as little as two years for killing the fetuses. In Indiana, feticide or killing a fetus not yet viable carries a penalty of two to eight years.
