21 year old Shelby Carter passed away in a house fire after heroically saving her baby on Friday February 3, 2017. It was a "motherly instinct" to put her child first, so she strapped her baby into a car seat then dropped the baby through the second floor window to the ground. Carter called 911 and told them she was in a burning house and didn't mention there was a baby, but luckily after moving a pile of carpet, Keana Davis was found inside the carseat. The sad part of it all was just the day before the accident, she celebrated her birthday.
Its really sad to see that she lost her life, but she decided to risk her life to save her child/the future generation. Her death affected lots of people, because she was loved by many and she lived in a small town in Chicago of about 1,500 people. She did try to save herself, but the cause of her death was by inhaling to much smoke and she got burned by the fire.

It is unfortunate that she lost her life, but at least she died as a hero.
