A seven-month-old infant was caught in the crossfire and left bleeding after a Pennsylvania woman gunned down his cowardly parents.
Psychotic Pennsylvania woman shoots baby
The parents on were pushing the baby in his stroller in Philadelphia, for an early evening walk on Thursday, when tragedy struck.
Surveillance footage showed a woman approaching the couple, firing at them, and hitting the baby in the leg before walking away.
The boy’s father scampered off without hesitation as the gunwoman fired two times in his direction, while the mother stayed by her baby’s side for the moment.
That’s when the shooter then walked by the pair, turned back, and fired again from close range.
The mother screamed “my baby,” to which the shooter tossed back, “F**k your baby, b***h,” before walking away.
Astonishingly, when police arrived at the scene, neither parent was present, and a neighbor had taken the baby to a hospital.
Two shell casings were found in the area, from a firearm police believe to be a semi-automatic.

Both parents were later found around an hour later, and allegedly failed to stick around and tend because they both have outstanding warrants.
The father was detained, and both parents were questioned by authorities. Police are searching for the shooter, who remains unidentified and at large, with no known motive for the shooting.
A neighbor who assisted the baby recounted how the mother gave left him with the child, and he drove to Nazareth Hospital.
‘When I find out the baby was seven months and both parents said they have warrants. They got out the car and I took the baby,’ he said in an interview.
“I just felt like I had to protect this child. It was overwhelming. It was scary,” he added. “This person came up and didn’t care with no remorse and just fired and walked away like nothing happened”‘
The baby was transferred to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital and is in stable condition.
Criminal dad gets into high speed chase with baby in the car
Another terrible parent who police say was connected to a Los Angeles robbery, led police on a reckless car chase with his two-month-old daughter in the car on Wednesday.
The incident kicked off with a call about an armed robbery involving three men in Beverly Hills.
The suspects were seen traveling in Hawthorne and eventually abandoned their vehicle.
Two men were detained, while a third suspect drove away in a carjacked Kia sedan, with his infant daughter and the baby’s mother inside.
When they gave pursuit, 21-year-old Daiyaan Henderson took off and weaved through traffic, often driving on the wrong side of the road and narrowly avoiding collisions, while he livestreamed the chase.
The pursuit ended in Culver City, where several police cruisers blocked the suspect’s vehicle.
Henderson finally gave up and held up his young daughter to officers before his girlfriend, seated in the backseat, also got out of the car.
“When a baby’s involved, it escalates everything, and you have to be on top of your game. I feel like everyone was at the top,” sheriff’s deputy Tony Lomedico commented.
Video footage showed the driver giving up and the woman being arrested. The baby was given to police and received medical treatment by first responders.
“My concern was the baby,” sheriff’s deputy Adriana Martinez remarked. “She was crying, so I just wanted to comfort her. My maternal instincts kicked in, and I tried to soothe her and stop her from crying. We ended up taking care of her.”
Deputies fed the child and changed her diaper before she fell asleep. The baby’s condition was “okay” and she has been released to her mother, who police determined was kidnapped by her child’s father during the ordeal.
Henderson has been slapped with an array of charges including kidnapping, carjacking, armed robbery, and being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm.
