Man out on 7 felony bonds kills mother of his child, shoots baby she was holding
A woman is dead and her 1-year-old child was injured after police said the father of the child shot them both during a domestic violence incident.
This happened at about 10:34 a.m. Thursday at an apartment complex in the 11200 block of Westpark Drive, which is in the Westchase area.
Houston police said witnesses reported hearing the woman and man arguing in a parking lot and seconds later, heard gunshots.
The Houston Fire Department arrived on scene and started doing CPR on the woman, who was shot at least four times. She was taken to a nearby hospital where she later died.
Police later arrived on scene and learned the woman was holding her 1-year-old son during the argument and he was shot in the ankle.
The baby is currently stable at the hospital.
Houston Police Department's Assistant Chief Patricia Cantu said the gunman was out on several felony bonds seven to be exact.
He was wearing an ankle monitor at the time of the shooting and was able to get away. Police aren't sure if he still has the ankle monitor on.
Cantu said this situation could have been prevented but what her department is going to continue to focus on is doing their jobs and letting the courts do theirs.
Both the DA and the Judge should be immediately removed from duty, charged criminally and civilly for their dereliction of duty. No amount of "GUN LAWS" will change anything......
