Brothers face murder in Indy standoff
INDIANAPOLIS, May 24 -- Prosecutors Tuesday prepared charges against a pair of Wyoming brothers involved in a hostage seige at a Denny's restaurant.
Tom Mathisen, 24, and Ronald Mathisen, 27, both of Caspar, Wyo., surrendered to police Monday after the six-hour hostage drama that left one person dead and several injured, including a 5-year-old boy who suffered a gunshot wound to the face. The dead man was identified as a 70-year-old retired car salesman who was eating at the restaurant.
Prosecutors said the pair would appear in court Wednesday.
Police said the brothers, armed with a machine pistol and a handgun, entered the restaurant shortly after 11 a.m. in a robbery attempt. As they approached the registers, a manager spotted one of the weapons and a struggle ensued.
The brothers allegedly told police they selected the restaurant at random after arriving by bus from Des Moines, Iowa. They allegedly told investigators they 'wanted to show their guns and take some money.'
The incident ended after about six hours when police agreed to bring the wife of one of the gunmen to Indianapolis. The woman is seven-months pregnant.
Police said the two fled Wyoming after robbing a video store. They also allegedly are wanted for embezzling money from the adult bookstore where they worked.
Police said the men drove a car to Des Moines, Iowa, where they ditched the vehicle and boarded the bus.
Police said the men simply wanted to rob the restaurant and did not intend to harm anyone.
Sgt. Frank Evans said the pair blamed the restaurant manager for the shooting for resisting the robbery.
The 5-year-old boy who was shot in the face was reported in serious condition. Justin Basicker underwent six hours of surgery and doctors said he will require additional plastic surgery but should heal well.
Also seriously wounded was Bob Doan, 49, one of the Denny's restaurant managers. Doan had gone to the restaurant on his day off to interview a prospective employee but ended up struggling with one of the gunmen. He was the first person shot and is reported in satisfactory condition with wounds in the abdomen and buttocks.
