Baby shot and killed in Albuquerque.

[ClearSightTactical]

This is horrifying. Details are few, but damn this has been a bad week in ABQ and nation wide :(
While some of our opposition may say "if it weren't for guns, this wouldn't have happened) I say if only the mom had a gun to defend her child...(speculating based on past cases)

Albuquerque police say a baby was fatally shot following an argument at a home Tuesday afternoon.

The incident happened around 3 p.m. at 328 General Chennault St. NE, near Wyoming Blvd. and Copper Ave.

Officers on scene said a child less than a year old had died. They said a man had been taken into custody in connection to the shooting. The man's identity was not immediately released.

Police responded to the home following a 911 call about an argument inside the home between a man and a woman followed by shots fired.

A police spokesperson at the scene said it appeared the man intentionally fired at the child but that the investigation was still ongoing.

Some things leave those of us who actually are human speechless. I am continually amazed by the outrageous things that happen every day.

Accused baby-shooter 'pushed over edge' | KRQE News 13 New Mexico

Rains was arrested Tuesday afternoon. During hours of questioning, he told detectives he found out his girlfriend was speaking with another man.

Note this was speaking with another man--not sleeping with. There are people who would sympathize for shooting your wife or girlfriend, particularly if the b**** had it coming. But shooting your own kid.

Oy. The human condition. It's definitely terminal.

Take this scumbag and execute him quickly or put him in prison in general population.

A 22-year-old Albuquerque man is in custody this morning after allegedly shooting and killing his 9-month-old daughter Tuesday afternoon.

Police say the incident began when Christopher Rains and the mother of the child, 18-year-old Ashley Trujillo, argued over whether she was involved with another man.

Police say the two had been sending text messages to each other through the day when Rains decided to go to the house on General Chenault Street about 3:00 Tuesday afternoon.

The two reportedly got into a heated argument and Rains is alleged to have pointed a .45 caliber pistol at his child’s head and pulled the trigger.

“He made a comment to Ashley and that comment was, ‘Was it worth it?’, after he had shot his own child and relayed to the mother, ‘Was this all worth you seeing another man?’.”

Rains then, according to police, called police and admitted to killing his child. He remained at the house and was taken into custody when officers arrived.

Like I said, put the scumbag in general population. That will be a death sentence.

He can still get life without parole.

He can still get life without parole.

Awesome...that means that he gets to sleep, watch TV (including HBO), eat, have shelter, etc all on the taxpayer dime. Quite a reward for killing a baby- the government taking care of you for the rest of your life!

Prison population will have no mercy on a baby killer.

I don't know where this myth got started, and perpetuated by the movie industry. There is really no moral code amongst criminals and they don't really care who you've killed or what you did. There is always some sort of hazing of new inmates, and while it may be true that chesters (child molesters) get a harsher round of it they usually don't "catch a shiv to the back".

I have many friends that are CO's for both private prisons and metro jail, and am relatively certain that it doesn't happen like most would think. Do some research and you'd be hard pressed to find any evidence of this.

I'm not one for vigilante justice. This guy deserves a trial, and deserves to be sentenced to certain death (not possible death by another inmate). I am a firm believer that people who commit crimes of this magnitude deserve no less than lethal injection.
