Ohio Officer Indicted for Murder in Shooting of Pregnant Woman

An Ohio police officer was indicted Tuesday on multiple charges, including murder, in the on-duty shooting of Ta'Kiya Young , a 21-year-old pregnant woman killed in a grocery store parking lot last August.

A Franklin County grand jury indicted Blendon Township police officer Connor Grubb on charges of murder, involuntary manslaughter and felonious assault. He is scheduled to be arraigned in court Wednesday, CBS reports.

Young was suspected of stealing bottles of alcohol when Grubb and a fellow officer approached her car. The other officer ordered her out. Instead, she rolled forward toward Grubb, who fired a single bullet through her windshield into her chest.

According to CBS affiliate WBNS-TV , Young was at least 25 weeks pregnant at the time of the shooting. The daughter she was expecting that November also died.

Blendon Township Police Chief John Belford said in a video posted to Facebook that disciplinary proceedings against Grubb would begin immediately, noting that people under indictment can't legally possess firearms. Belford said the town wasn't involved in the outside investigation into the shooting.
