According to reports, the child’s father pursued the assailant, only to have the woman allegedly turn and fire at him as well, adding to the terror of the situation. A brave neighbor intervened, rushing the injured infant to the hospital, where medical personnel have reported the child to be in stable condition.
Authorities located the distraught parents a few blocks away from the scene approximately an hour after the incident unfolded. Chief Inspector Small of the Philadelphia Police Department commented on the investigation, stating, “It appears that the shooter was firing in the direction of the mother and father,” as reported by Fox 29.
The suspect, described as a heavy-set black woman with long dreadlocks, was last seen wearing a black hoodie and jeans. Despite intensive efforts by law enforcement, the assailant remains at large, prompting heightened concerns and calls for community vigilance.
As the investigation continues, authorities are working diligently to apprehend the perpetrator and bring justice to the affected family.
