regulator 0 #1 March 22, 2013 Police are going door-to-door in a coastal Georgia town in a frantic search for two young suspects after a gunman shot an infant dead in the stroller his mother was pushing. Officer Todd Rhodes of the Brunswick Police Department told FoxNews.com that numerous tips had been received in connection to the Thursday morning shooting, but no suspect or weapon had yet been located, police said Friday. Investigators were also checking school attendance records for leads. Several nearby residents called 911 after hearing gunshots fired, but Rhodes said investigators believe the mother was the only witness to what happened. "Understand this: There is no clear motive right now," he said. The suspects in the killing of the 13-month-old boy and wounding of his mother are thought to be as young as 10 years old, Brunswick Police Chief Tobe Green said. "He said 'I'm going to kill you if you don't give me money,' and I said, ‘I swear I don't have any,"' the mother, Sherry West, said in a interview with Jacksonville’s WAWS-TV. West said she attempted to protect her baby, Antonio but shots rang out, striking her in the leg and her son in the head. "I put my arms over my baby and he shoves me and then he shot my baby right in the head," West said. West was later transported to the Southeast Georgia Health System for medical treatment. She is expected to recover. "This is obviously a terrible day in Brunswick," Brunswick Mayor Bryan Thompson said. “If you know something and don’t call, you are complicit in this crime.” Antonio's father, Louis Santiago, told WAWS-TV he wishes he could have been there to protect his family. "He was special," Santiago said. "He had the bluest, bluest eyes." Residents described Brunswick — a city of roughly 15,000 about 80 miles south of Savannah — as normally quiet despite some property crimes of late. "This makes me very uneasy," Patricia Buie told The Brunswick News. "Now I am very concerned. It is making me want to move to the mountains." Officers from a SWAT team checked vacant houses as investigators tried to find possible witnesses. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources provided a helicopter to aid the search. A sketch artist from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was en route to Brunswick to assist police with the case. Police in Brunswick are heading the investigation, but the GBI assisted in the neighborhood search, according to GBI Special Agent Mike McDaniel. A $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction if being offered by the Brunswick Police Department. Anyone with information is asked to call investigators at (912) 267-5516. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/03/22/police-georgia-infant-killed-while-pushed-in-stroller/?test=latestnews#ixzz2OIQVzTkP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

regulator 0 #19 March 22, 2013 I just want to see how the parents of these two jackasses react. Can't wait to see someone like Quannel X get involved and attempt to assert blame on something else rather than taking responsibility and disowning them for their actions. If I did something like this my parents would disown me and ignore my existance. I'll be waiting to hear how they attempt to own up for what their kids did.

labrys 0 #22 March 24, 2013 QuoteThe city's website describes Brunswick, with a population of about 15,000, as "one of the most unique, historic and visually stunning places in the world." Having been to Brunswick many times, I think that this statement pretty much sums up the level of denial and the orders of magnitude of disconnect that the leadership of Brunswick suffer from. There's something really, really odd going on with this story.Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
