There has to be more to this story. It's terrible no matter what happened. What the hell is wrong with people?

There isn't any reason to believe that whomever shot the baby shouldnt be considered a threat to society. Killing a harmless and innocent baby is something I consider to be quite cold hearted and can't see that person ever respecting another human being. Just unreal how people can take a life so easily.

I just wonder if this story is true. Seems real far fetched for a nice neighborhood like this was suppose to be. I'm sure police will go over every detail of the story.

holy crap! Whatever happened in this case the end result still sucks. Precious lil boy too... we need to be harder on criminals and lower the age of tried as an adult, kids mature faster today than ever before they know early if they are doing something right or wrong. This is sad

Any news on this story? It's like they dropped it.

I agree. I haven't read much more than the headline and I know the mother got shot in the leg but this is the kind of story that always seems to end up with the mother lying and some other even sicker version coming out where she is involved. Not saying that's my view because I just don't know enough and God help that poor mother if she's not involved, but doesn't it feel that way at first blush?

Brunswick, Georgia (CNN) -- Two teen boys in this coastal city were under arrest Friday, accused in the fatal shooting of a 13-month-old boy who was in a stroller being pushed by his mother.

Aided by a description and a check of school attendance records to determine who was not in classes Thursday, officers searched for the young suspects and took them into custody, police said.

The mother told reporters the shooting occurred when one youth demanded money.

Police expressed confidence they would find the weapon, believed to be a handgun.

Jesus. "Horrific" doesn't begin to describe this.

I was preying this wasn't real.

Just ran across this:

It's not the mother's first loss of a child to violence. Sherry West said her 18-year-old son, Shaun Glassey, was killed in New Jersey in 2008. She still has a newspaper clipping from the time.

Glassey was killed with a steak knife in March 2008 during an attack involving several other teens on a dark street corner in Gloucester County, N.J., according to news reports from the time.

"He and some other boys were going to ambush a kid," Bernie Weisenfeld, a spokesman for the Gloucester County prosecutor's office, told the AP Friday.

Glassey was armed with a knife, but the 17-year-old target of the attack was able to get the knife away from him "and Glassey ended up on the wrong end of the knife," Weisenfeld recalled.

Prosecutors decided the 17-year-old would not be charged because they determined that he acted in self-defense.

Geez.

That is a really cool city. Real laid back and friendly. I can't believe this happened there. Well anywhere really. It is just such a juxtaposition of my memories of the place and this heinous act.

Police arrest 2 teens in Ga. baby killing

Its cases like this that make me say "this is why we need a death penalty".
If these are the animals that killed the baby they should die.

I saw the interview last night. With everything that we see on a daily bases, it is rare that I am actually disturbed by anything that I see on the news but this turned my stomach. The baby went to sleep in a stroller and never woke up because of pure evil. Many stories can be explained by life circumstances, situations, etc.. but I can think of no circumstance that these two got to this point without just being evil at the core.

I'm not making any accusations, but I do find the sisters comments hilarious.

But Elkins' older sister said her family knows he wasn't involved in the shooting

"My brother wasn't anywhere near that area as far as we know — not the scene or the shooting," she said Saturday. She said she didn't know whether Elkins had a lawyer.
"He couldn't have done that to a little baby," she said. "My brother has a good heart."

She KNOWS he wasn't involved because he wasn't anywhere near that area, as far as she knows. And he has a good heart? We're talking about the murder of a baby, here. If he didn't do it, you better come up with a better alibi than that!

On another note, it is absolutely sickening that anyone could point a gun at an innocent person, much less a baby.
