Shot bank cashier loses twins

A pregnant bank cashier lost the twins she was carrying when she was shot in an Indianapolis bank robbery, a US official said today.

Katherin Shuffield, who was five months pregnant, was critically wounded in the robbery on Tuesday morning at a Huntington Bank branch.

Police have been searching for the gunman.

Marion County chief trial prosecutor David Wyser said one of the twins died last night, and the other died this morning.

Authorities and the family said Ms Shuffield, 30, had been wounded in the abdomen and was in a critical but stable condition.
