BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) -- A young boy opened fire on a woman pushing her baby in a stroller in a Georgia neighborhood, killing the 1-year-old boy and wounding the mother, police said.
The woman, Sherry West, told WAWS-TV that two boys approached her and demanded money Thursday morning. Brunswick Police Chief Tobe Green said the boys are thought to be between 10 and 15 years old.
West said she insisted she didn't have any money and tried to protect her son, Antonio, before shots rang out. She had been walking near her home in this coastal city about 80 miles south of Savannah.
"I put my arms over my baby and he shoves me, and then he shot my baby right in the head," West said.
West was shot in the leg.
"This is obviously a terrible day in Brunswick," Brunswick Mayor Bryan Thompson said. "Please call if you know something. You are complicit in this crime."
The boy's father, Louis Santiago, told the TV station he wishes he could have been there to protect his family.
"He was special," Santiago said. "He had the bluest, bluest eyes."
Officers from an SWAT team checked vacant houses as investigators tried to find possible witnesses. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources provided a helicopter to aid the search.
Police are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

This is supposed to be a place of safety.
the last thing we need is off tilopic posts that are just to make ruin peoples personal safety.
I don't watch the news.so this sort of thing does not make my pain any worse.
Please stop using DS for your personal pleasures
, you have every right to post what ever you want, If DS does not approve they will let you know. I live in Canada and odn't hear all that happens down in the States. I want to be aware of what is happening as I have family in the states, whom I want to be safe. I am sorry if this offends anyone. I ask if DS does have a problem then please tell us were this could be posted. Is this any worse than someone telling us of a car crash, rape, a abuse, assault. All things have consequences we can not make our world perfect. Plus it is a free world , ONLY DS DECIDES WHAT CAN AND CANNOT BE POSTED, I AM STEPPING OFF MY SOAP BOX NOW. iSABEE
I'll pray for the family of the victims. It puts my crappy day in perspective.

Tabby, this really isn't the proper place to post these kinds of stories though and if your going to, you really need to make sure and add the "Off Topic" so people can choose not to open it if they know it's not C.P. related.
Maybe if we put OT on the post it would protect people who are choosing to keep the news out of their home, to skip the post. Just a thought for a compromise.
Tabby has a right to post, absolutely.
It did say "sad", so anyone not up to coping with "sad" had a right to skip the post.
There is no pleasure in death and heart break. May we all pray for peace.
Also saying this was used for "personal pleasure"
Tabby I am so sorry someone was so RUDE ....remember that old saying "if you have nothing NICE to say don't say it at all!
Xoxo Tabby.
