This is just too sad ... What a crazy world this is becoming .

Why shoot a one year old ? What a nutjob.

Very nasty and sad <deleted> to do this, especially to a child. I do hope that he is found swiftly, and suffers very badly for this evil.

I don't even care if someone else finds him before the cops and sorts it out at a personal level, such is my disgust for this <deleted>.
