Baby shot and killed in carjacking

If it’s not bad enough to have your car stolen, but to have your baby shot by the thieves is unfathomable.

I don’t understand it. Take the car, take all of ones belongings — the baby wasn’t going to identify these hoodlums. Why hurt and murder an innocent little baby?

A 13-month-old boy was shot and killed and his mother was wounded during an apparent carjacking Monday night in Gary, officials said.

The shooting was reported around 7:35 p.m. in the 500 block of West 21st Avenue, but it was unclear whether that was where the original carjacking took place, officials with the Lake County coroner’s office said early Tuesday morning.

Josiah T. Shaw, who lived in the 5800 block of Forest Court in Gary, was taken from the red sport-utility vehicle to Gary Methodist Hospital where he died of gunshot wounds to the chin and left pelvic area, according to the coroner’s office.
