Baby shot in Brooklyn...
not sure where's the best place to put this, but here it goes for now...
I'm watching this lead on the local news, and it's really horrifying. Someone just ran by the kid in a stroller and blasted away. Four shots. No reason why yet, but the 'hood is pissed and says whoever did it gets "no protection" this time.
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A 1-year-old boy has died after being shot in the head Sunday evening in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn.
As 1010 WINS’ Gene Michaels reported, the shooting happened around 7:20 p.m. on Bristol Street in Brooklyn, police said. The boy — identified as Antiq Hennis of Brooklyn — was in a stroller crossing Livonia Avenue with his parents at the time, authorities and witnesses said.
Antiq’s father was pushing him down the sidewalk, when a shot struck the boy in the head.
Antiq, who had just turned 1 year old, was rushed to nearby Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center, police said.
Police confirmed during the 9 p.m. hour that the child had died.
Witness Cynthia Ballantyne said she heard the shots, but thought they were firecrackers at first. She said she was glad she did not witness the shooting.
