Gun Found Near Home of Slain Pastor’s Wife

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ Indianapolis police say they're analyzing a handgun found near the home where a pastor's pregnant wife was shot and killed last week during a robbery.

Officer Rafael Diaz said Tuesday the gun was turned over to police by someone who found it Friday in a yard about two blocks from the home where 28-year-old Amanda Blackburn was fatally shot.

Diaz says the gun is undergoing testing to determine if it's connected to the Blackburn killing or any other crime.

He says the handgun was wet and had mud on it but appeared relatively new.

Blackburn was shot in the head during the Nov. 10 attack and died the next day. She was 13 weeks pregnant.

Police released two video stills Monday of a suspect seen walking near the Blackburn's home.
