Share

(Newser) – A 4-month-old baby boy was fatally wounded in a gang confrontation as he was being fed in a parked car in Los Angeles, police said. Andrew Garcia was rushed to a local hospital where he died. A pregnant family friend who was feeding Andrew was wounded. A teen with criminal connections, also shot, was standing close to the car when a gang member fired six times with a shotgun, police said. The infant was “caught in the middle,” a police spokesman told the Los Angeles Times. “It’s a disturbing crime scene.”

Andrew Garcia, 4 months old, was shot dead in the middle of a gang battle on the streets of Los Angeles.

Antiks, Gun Control is a worthless idea, if someone is going to murder someone they will find the means even if it means cooking up a bomb with comon household cleaning chemicals or purchasing guns off the black market. In both Saginaw as well as Flint Michigan there have been multiple children murdered in the last 3 weeks, it is happening everywhere and there are no easy answers, to be honest it will take a fight on multiple fronts. Decriminalize pot, get non violent offenders out of the jails, round up these gangs and lock them away forever, education, jobs, so many things are needed to stop this and they all must be done in unison.

Gun control does not have anything to do with PEOPLE KILLING OTHER PEOPLE!!!! it's going to happen regardless what kind of weapon you use, Antiks.
