(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.

      I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.
