CNN Breaking News: Florida mom shot & killed 6-month-old son, critically wounded herself

Fri January 4, 2013 (CNN) -- A 20-year-old Florida woman was in critical condition Friday after she shot and killed her 6-month-old son and then turned the gun on herself, police said. Authorities found Melanie Reyes and her baby after performing a welfare check at the request of Reyes' family, who called 911 to report a statement on her Facebook page in which she "indicated she was going to shoot her child and herself," according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office. Both were transported to a hospital, where the infant was pronounced dead. Police recovered the handgun believed used in the shootings from the home. The incident comes roughly two weeks after Reyes was arrested for aggravated domestic battery after her boyfriend said she struck him with a baseball bat, according to a police report. Her next court date had been scheduled for January 22.

• R14 of course its not all about her, but she may not see it that way. Someone who does something this fucked up is not rational. If killing the boy was to spite the father, then her motives are even more selfish.

• Obama made her do it, so he could pass more laws to take away our guns!
