B.C. woman killed while protecting son from mass shooter in Texas
Rahman, 24, was walking her one-year-old son, Ibrahim, in their new neighbourhood shortly after noon on Dec. 5 when the alleged gunman opened fire, killing her friend, Emmanuel Pop Ba, before her eyes. Rahman's husband, Ishraq Islam, told CBC News his wife watched as Ba was killed just outside their home.
Islam said his wife immediately fled with their son toward a neighbour's house, where she hid Ibrahim from the shooter's view.
"Sabrina, being unselfish and just having that mother instinct, she turned around," Islam said. "She saw some patio chairs. She guided the stroller with Ibrahim inside, behind the patio chairs, and barricaded him so he wasn't visible."
But Rahman soon came face to face with the gunman, Islam said, and was shot in the head. She collapsed a few feet away from their son, but the gunman didn't see Ibrahim and left the area, Islam said.
The family relocated to the state capital last year to work for Islam's family's real estate business, and had just moved into their new home the day before the shooting.
While Sabrina died weeks shy of her 25th birthday, Islam says their son is "going to grow up knowing how much of a hero his mom was."
Two teenage brothers have been arrested after their sister was shot and died during a row over Christmas presents.
Abrielle Baldwin, 23, was shot in the chest by one brother while she had her 10-month-old son in a carrier, the Florida sheriff's office said.
The brother was then shot by their other sibling, who pulled his own gun, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said.
It added that the shooting followed an argument over who was getting more presents.
Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told reporters the older teenager, who is 15, ran from the scene and tossed his gun away.
The younger brother, a 14-year-old, was taken to hospital in a stable condition and will be taken into custody when he is released, police said.

I lived in Perry for a time in the mid-90s (long story). It's a stereotypical american small town... about the size of Drumheller.

Mother of Detroit shooter found guilty of manslaughter today. This was an egregious case of poor parenting and honestly just outright negligence on the parents part- Funny quote-
Quote:
the defense warned that the blame lay elsewhere: on her husband for improperly securing the firearm; on the school for failing to notify her about her son’s behavioral issues; and on Ethan himself, who planned and carried out the attack on his own. Defense attorney Shannon Smith said the case was “dangerous” for parents everywhere.
Seriously? What's the worst that would happen? Parents would try harder to raise their kids not to be murderers? Not buy them handguns for their 15th birthday? Try to be better parents?
