A horrific story out of
Chicago today, as a six-month girl named Jonylah Watkins has died from bullet
wounds suffered Monday when she was shot five times while her dad changed her
diaper.
According to witnesses, a
gunman opened fire on Jonathan Watkins around 1 p.m. when he was standing alongside
his minivan, caring for his child in the front seat.
Police are investigating
the incident, which left Jonathan with gun shots in his side and buttocks and
which was NOT the first time this family was faced with such a crime.
Jonylah's mother, Judy,
was shot in the knee while pregnant with Jonylah, according to the woman's
mother, Mary Young.
"There's too much
shooting over there," Young told journalists
Monday, adding of her granddaughter: "She's nothing but 6 months old. How
could anybody... what kind of heart?"
Jonathan remains in
critical care and is expected to survive, while Jonylah's fatal wounds were in
her thigh, shoulder, lung, liver and bowels.
