Police search for young suspects in Georgia after baby shot dead Mar 22nd 2013, 14:16 ATLANTA | Fri Mar 22, 2013 10:16am EDT ATLANTA (Reuters) - Police in a coastal Georgia town searched on Friday for two young suspects, including one possibly as young as 10, in connection with the shooting death of a 13-month-old boy who was killed as his mother pushed him in a stroller. The child's mother said the infant was shot with a handgun as she walked him down a street in Brunswick on Thursday morning, according to Brunswick police spokesman Todd Rhodes. Police were going door to door in area neighborhoods, looking for the suspects, he said. "We're aggressively looking for the perpetrators," Rhodes said. The mother received a leg wound in the attack and was treated and released from a local hospital, Rhodes said. She identified the attackers as two young males, one about 13 years old and the other about 10 to 12 years old, he said. In an interview with Jacksonville television station WAWS, the mother, identified as Sherry West, said that just before the shooting, the older boy told her, "I'm going to kill you if you don't give me money." Responding that she didn't have any money, West said: "I put my arms over my baby, and he shoves me and then he shot my baby right in the head." However, on Friday, Rhodes said no motive had been established for the shooting.
