4-month old baby killed in gang shooting

I found this report on KTLA News
A 4-month old baby boy named Andrew Garcia was killed during a shooting outside a gang party early Sunday Morning. Along with a man and pregnant woman, who were also shot. The shooting happened in the 14400 Block of Kittridge Street. This happened about 1:00 a.m. according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Van Nuys Station. Anna Contreras, 28 years old and pregnant, was feeding the baby of a friend of hers from inside a car. Eric Rimirez and other friends including mother and father of the infant, were standing outside the vehicle. The group got into a fight with two random men walking nearby, and one of the men opened fired with a shotgun. There were 6 shots fired, one hit baby Andrew, one hit the woman feeding him (Anna Contreras), and one hit Eric Rimirez. All three went to the hospital, but baby Andrew was airlifted to UCLA Medical Center, where he later died. Others shot will survive. The cops have descriptions of what these two men look like, but they do not have them in custody. The report says, anyone with information about this crime is asked to call police.

My first reaction to this story was saddness. This poor baby didnt do anything wrong.

Why would some random stranger shot a 4-month old baby? This man who did this doesn't have a heart, and i believe this man deserves worse than the death penalty. If your fighting with someone in a gang and they decide to shot anyone, so be it, but why would you injury a baby? What does that do? Does it make him feel better? Wow, what a tough man that is, he killed a baby. I dont take lightly anything that has to do with children in the news. I hate that these poor children have to pay for their parents mistakes. If you think about it, it was 1 a.m. on sunday, which means mom and dad were out partying on a saturday night and got their baby killed by hanging out with people that the report said had a criminal background. Why would you even take a chance like that on risking your baby's life? Great parents. I dont understand why people are so stupid. There are people everywhere doing stupid stuff like this and risking their kids. And these kids can't protect themselves. What was baby Andrew supposed to do when mom and dad started mouthing off to strangers in the street? I belive some people probably shouldnt have children. At least Baby Andrew Garcia is now with God in Heaven. He is in better hands, and maybe this situation opened his parents eyes and made them realize, not to bring their 4 month old baby out on a saturday night in a gang neighborgood.

I can't believe some of the people out there who have children. There are thousands of people out there trying to have a baby and they cant. But we have complete idiots of parents out there, taking their babies out in the gang wars. Open your eyes people, if you can't take proper care of your child, then give him/her to the nearby church, or up for adoption. Don't risk your baby's life because your unfit.
