“No one should have a gun pointed in their face by heartless criminals simply because they went shopping, or went to work,” Zachary A. Myers, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, said in the release. “These armed criminals terrorized their victims with utter disregard for the consequences of their actions—going so far as to point an AR-style firearm at a toddler as their parent shielded the child with their body. These horrific crimes will not be tolerated in our community."
