A shocking incident occurred in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Thursday evening when a woman allegedly opened fire on an infant in a stroller, shooting the child in the leg. The attack took place in the 4000 block of Meridian Street around 6:00 p.m.
According to eyewitness accounts, the suspect approached the infant and his parents, pulling out a gun and firing at the child. The infant was rushed to the hospital and is currently in stable condition.
The New York Post reported that the attacker allegedly yelled, “Fuck your baby!” as the mother screamed in horror. A neighbor who witnessed the attack took the baby to the hospital, explaining that the parents were hesitant to wait for police due to outstanding warrants.
The neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous, described the scene as “overwhelming” and “scary.” “When I find out the baby was 7 months old and both parents said they have warrants, they got out of the car and I took the baby,” the neighbor said. “I just felt like I had to protect this child.”
A woman was arrested on Friday in connection with the shooting, bringing an end to the investigation.
