This just in from the Savannah News:



BRUNSWICK — Police have arrested two teenagers suspected in the shooting death of a baby in a stroller and the wounding of the baby's mother.

Brunswick Police Chief Tobe Green said Friday that 17-year-old Demarquis Elkins is charged with first-degree murder as an adult.

A 14-year-old is also charged with murder, but he was not identified because he is a juvenile.



An arrest is not necessarily a proof of guilt but it IS an indication there's a reason to think these two are guilty. This case will (and should be) watched very closely. The prosecution should tread very carefully should it comes to trial because if it turns out these guys ARE guilty, springing them on a technicality would be a tragic affront to justice.

Source is the same as above but posted in the comments section.



I am utterly horrified by this and it really hits home to me with a kid on the way.

I know two wrongs don't make a right but I don't think that I could wait for law enforcement.

To convict these as wh**** if you catch my drift.
 
This is so tragic but there is something about this story that isn't adding up for me. Police say they have charged a 17 and 14 year old. According to the mother who was the only eye witness, this makes no sense if you read what she said:

While police have said the two boys were between the ages of 10 and 15, the mother says she believes the younger boy was as young as 5 years old. The boy proceeded to go around to the stroller and he shot my baby in the face, she said. And then he just shoved me when I started screaming and he ran down London Street with the little boy.

My question is how could she confuse a 17 and 14 year with boys between 10 - 15 and believed the younger one was only 5?
