Baby Shot in Stroller by Julia F

On Sunday evening in Brooklyn, New York a 1-year-old boy in his stroller and his parents were going for a walk. At around the time of 7:19 their baby boy was shot in the head and proclaimed dead by the hospital. They say that 18-year-old De'Marquise Elkins was the murderer of this child after him demanding money from his mother. He will have a life sentence to jail. 

Because we know this article was created in between the day of and after the event occurred, there can always be more to the situation as time goes by and they figure out more and more. I've heard stories of people, bad people, asking another for money and them rejecting, leading to someone getting hurt. I feel this is another incident that goes along with it. As I read the article it occurred to me how careful we need to be while walking the streets and to be aware of our surroundings.

  1. Who would just shoot a kid like that? That's what I want to know.

  2. People should always be extremely aware of their surroundings. But maybe to avoid some of these tragic incidents, people shouldn't go out at night? Super sad!

  3. This is so sad! I agree that people should be aware of their surroundings, but they shouldn't have to worry to the point where they think their child will be shot. However, they should know that there are crazy people out there who kill despite the consequences.
