Police were able to rescue child, who is in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, before house caught fire with father still in it
A six-month-old baby is currently hospitalized after a man allegedly shot the infant several times during an armed home standoff in Surprise, Arizona, about 30 miles north-west of Phoenix.
At about 3am on Friday, the father of the child allegedly broke into the home where the child and mother lived, according to Surprise police. The child’s father did not live in the house, police said, adding that the man held the mother and child hostage for several hours before the mother managed to escape.
According to police, the mother contacted a construction crew and requested that they call 911. They added that she had minor injuries and it remains unclear how she managed to escape.
How in the hell is that baby still alive after being shot multiple times? That’s amazing enough for an adult but a baby is so compact and fragile comparatively. That’s pretty incredible from a physiological perspective.
Small caliber low power bullets can be deadly or cause minor wounds depending on whether they hit anything important.
I’m still surprised a baby survived multiple, since they have a lot less important parts like major muscles.
Cops can’t aim for shit.
Edit: The fact that this joke is believable enough to get you guys bent out of shape really goes to show how fucked up things are with the police in this country. Y’all are like “Get the pitchforks, the police didn’t shoot the baby this time!”. It’s hilarious and depressing at the same time. I’ll be sure to add the /s next time.
