10-Month-Old Shot Dead in Dad's Arms After They're Confronted By 3 Men: Cops

A little boy was fatally shot in his father's arms and Texas cops are now searching for three men believed to be involved.

The tragedy unfolded Wednesday afternoon as 10-month-old Messiah Marshall walked outside with his 22-year-old father as he took out the trash from a Houston home.

Police say three men then approached the dad and one of them opened fire.

The man grabbed his son and tried to run away. Just then, the child was struck.

NRA/ILA/GOA apologists will say, "but it must be gang related," as if that is reason to disregard this tragic loss of innocent life. A politician gets shot and survives and it becomes world news, but a 10-month old baby is shot and killed, and the news is hardly noticed.

There are too many guns on our streets. There are too many people with guns on our streets who shouldn't have them. We need sensible gun control measures which will reduce the number of innocent lives lost because NRA apologists believe that the Second Amendment is a license to kill.
