Police were able to rescue child, who is in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, before house caught fire with father still in it
A six-month-old baby is currently hospitalized after a man allegedly shot the infant several times during an armed home standoff in Surprise, Arizona, about 30 miles north-west of Phoenix.
At about 3am on Friday, the father of the child allegedly broke into the home where the child and mother lived, according to Surprise police. The child’s father did not live in the house, police said, adding that the man held the mother and child hostage for several hours before the mother managed to escape.
According to police, the mother contacted a construction crew and requested that they call 911. They added that she had minor injuries and it remains unclear how she managed to escape.
Cops can’t aim for shit.
Edit: The fact that this joke is believable enough to get you guys bent out of shape really goes to show how fucked up things are with the police in this country. Y’all are like “Get the pitchforks, the police didn’t shoot the baby this time!”. It’s hilarious and depressing at the same time. I’ll be sure to add the /s next time.
According to the article, the police officers didn’t shoot the baby, the father did.
Well we know you didn’t bother reading the article.
“It was a joke.” If you have to explain that something is a joke, you either need to work on your setup and delivery, or it’s only a joke in your own mind.
