BRUNSWICK, Ga. – Police with automatic weapons went door-to-door in a coastal Georgia town searching for suspects after a gunman opened fire on an infant as his mother pushed him in his stroller.
The suspects in the Thursday killing of the 13-month-old boy and wounding of his mother are thought to be from 10 to 15 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 tearful interview with WAWS-TV of Jacksonville.
She said she tried to protect her baby, Antonio, but shots rang out.
“I put my arms over my baby and he shoves me and then he shot my baby right in the head,” West said.
