CHICAGO — A 5-month-old girl and her father were shot Monday afternoon as the man changed the baby's diaper in the Woodlawn neighborhood, authorities said.
The baby was rushed to Comer Children's Hospital, said Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford. Relatives gathered there identified the baby as Johnylah Watkins. She's the daughter of 25-year-old Jonathan Watkins and Judy Watkins, 21, who herself was shot several months ago while pregnant with Johnylah.
Both father and daughter were in serious-to-critical condition, police said.

Further down in the article it says that the father is a known gang member. But a proliferation of guns will be getting the blame, you watch.
So in a few years, Daddy, Mama and Little Johnylah can sit around and compare bullet holes.
Hey, you reap what you sow.
I believe that you could have skipped the story and just put up a picture with a "Gotta Be Chicago" caption.
ReplyDeleteThey will sit around and compare bullet holes. It's a badge of honor.
ReplyDeleteUpdate...6 month old, infant girl, perished from her wounds earlier today (3.12.13).
ReplyDeleteBaby Daddy is allegedly an active affiliate and isn't cooperating with the cops.
Gramma & momma ain't happy and the whole 'diaper change' story stinks!
God...please bless this innocent child and all our Warriors.
Hooah!
