(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.

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
