(CNN) -- A 1-year-old boy was shot and killed as his parents pushed his stroller across a Brooklyn street Sunday evening, New York City police said.

 

The parents of Antiq Hennis were pushing the stroller across Livonia Avenue, near their home, about 7:19 p.m. when the child was shot in the left side of the head, a police statement said. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Brookdale Hospital.

 

The police statement offered no details on the circumstances of the shooting and said no arrests had been made.

 

The shooting came two days after a Georgia jury convicted an 18-year-old man of murder in the shooting of a 1-year-old baby in a stroller in the coastal city of Brunswick.

 

De'Marquise Elkins faces a mandatory life sentence in the March 21 killing of Antonio Santiago. The child's mother said Elkins shot her and the baby after demanding money.

I hate reading these stories.  I have a 2 year old son and couldn't imagine this happening to him. I would be devastated.  I also have two daughters (6 and 8) and if anything happened to them I wouldn't know what to do.

I thought guns were banned in NYC?

I thought gun control makes us safer. Obviously not the case and its obvious that this isn't the work of some law abiding gun owner.

The difference is you are in Canada and this happened in Brooklyn.

Another victim of the United States of Guns.

 

I wonder when the NRA are going to appear and say the child might have survived if it also had a gun?

Eh.. people still have guns in Canada.  Granted they are for hunting moose and whales during the 2 months of summer, and 10/12 months are spent in Igloos.. it does still happen.  Snow is only so hard.

I think I would have preferred not to open this thread... I think I'll just stay out of "real world news", too much like TV news (sad and irrelevant.)

 

That's kind of the point of this section, to discuss real world news...

Personally one of them is a textbook case for having a gun and therefore I have nothing to say about it. This is horrific though, of course people are going to comment on it.

I agree that some of the points made here leave something to be desired. If I'm impartial to the subject of guns, their comments wouldn't help sway me to their side.

Anyway, gun control should be talked about in the appropriate thread, not here.

So was this done as some sort of tribute? How could someone intentionally shoot a baby? There are some sick people in the world...

Such a tragic situation, and it's utterly disgusting that this stuff is still allowed to happen. I hope the scum that shot the baby gets what's coming to him. And I REALLY hope the shooting wasn't on purpose. That doesn't make it better, but at least it wouldn't be so horrific to think that someone purposely shot a 1 year old.

kinda is, gun had to came from some where, doubt it was smuggled in from Canada in horse anuses and assembled in the US.

 

Some where along the line another incompetent gun owner lost yet another gun, and it ended up in the hands of someone who shouldn't have had it.

 

And a law in 1 state isn't going to have any real affect if the hillbilly states next to it allow for wannabe cowboys to roam the streets.

Those "hillbilly cowboys" or the correct term for them is carry permit holders account for almost 0% of  the crimes committed with guns. So while you poke fun and try to demoralize legal gun owners and legal carry permit holders they are not the ones committing the crime.  And since you live in Kansas, since the carrying of firearms became legal in Kansas of the 51,078 permits issued only 44 committed crimes with their firearms. Do you want to do the math and tell me what percent of legal gun owners commit crime? That works out to one charge for every 1,161 permit holders, or 0.09 percent.  :)

Funny how you say its allowed to happen. Its not allowed to happen, its called murder. Oh and BTW you're no worse than the murderer because you want him to have the same fate.  :rolleyes:

My point was that things that are sad and irreverent aren't "news"...

 

Sure they are. Just because you don't like them, doesn't mean they're not news or a topic worthy of discussion.

A baby is death and all you manage to say is an argument about guns rights?

The real question is, how can you look at a baby and put a bullet in him/her? How mentally damaged and devoid of emotion do you have to be to carry that out? I could be severely ###### at something and a baby's giggle would kick that mood out of me.

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
