Chicago-Two people were charged after a 1-year-old boy was shot in the head following a struggle between his parents inside their home.

Police say the initial report from the child’s 26-year-old father was that the child was shot in the 800 block of West Leland Avenue ‪around 7:30 p.m. Monday‬. He said he was the target of gunfire, but the boy was hit by mistake.

Police later stated no shooting ever occurred at that location. The initial story told to police was a lie.

Detectives said there was a physical struggle between the boy’s mother and father over a handgun. The gun went off and struck the 1-year-old, who is almost 2, in the head. The father took the boy to Weiss Hospital, where he was then transported to Lurie Children’s Hospital in serious condition.

McCoy and Smith were then taken into custody.

Philadelphia- A North Philadelphia man told police his son was shot and killed during a home invasion early Thursday.

Police responded to a call for a home invasion robbery ‪before 1 a.m. on Thursday‬. Police say the father had been home with the 4-year-old victim and a younger child, while their mother was at work.

"He reported that it was a home invasion robbery when he called it into police radio and to the first responding officers," according to Acting Philadelphia Police Commissioner Christine Coulter." We don't have any viable flash at this time regarding the person involved, but hopefully, as he is questioned at Homicide we will be able to get a clearer picture as to what exactly happened."

When police arrived the father was downstairs with the younger child, and the 4-year-old was found upstairs in a bedroom unconscious and unresponsive.

The child was rushed to the hospital and was pronounced at the hospital.

"Unfortunately, officers throughout the city over the last year have been in that situation, you know, and we are very conscious of the help they may also need, too. A lot of them, themselves are parents of young children- to just put a kid, who was shot, in the car, try to save their life, and not have those results," Coulter said.

Brooklyn, NY-A federal prosecutor in New York said Friday that the case of a suspected serial bank robber accused of committing a heist in Brooklyn hours after being released from custody shows that the state’s newly enacted bail reform is making New Yorkers less safe.

Prosecutors say Gerod Woodberry, 42, entered a Chase Bank branch in Brooklyn on Jan. 10 and handed a note to a teller that said, “THIS IS A ROBBERY BIG BILLS ONLY NO DYE PACKS.”

Woodberry fled with approximately $1,000 in cash.

Authorities say the robbery followed a spree in which Woodberry robbed four New York City banks between Dec 30 and Jan 8.

Woodberry was arrested after the Jan 8 robbery, but was released on Jan 10 under the stated bail reform law. He then robbed a Brooklyn bank hours after being released from jail.

“No sound, rational and fair criminal justice system requires the pretrial release of criminal defendants who demonstrate such determination to continuously commit serious crimes,” U.S. Attorney Richard P. Donoghue said in a statement, adding, “The recent reforms have made a bad situation worse by entirely excluding classes of purportedly “nonviolent” felonies — like the bank robberies here — from pretrial confinement eligibility.”

Woodberry turned himself in Friday after being sought by federal agents who took over the case because he continued to be released.

William F. Sweeney Jr., assistant director in charge of the FBI’s New York Office, tweeted about Woodberry’s arrest Friday, saying “You may think you can walk away from your crimes, but when the FBI/NYPD task forces have jurisdiction and the ability to stop criminal behavior, you will be held accountable.”

“If you think bail is an issue, what happens if he posted it?” said New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, a longtime advocate of bail reform. “All bail reform does is equalize people who have money with people who don’t have money.”

The Chiefs — featured on the event’s artwork — beat the Tennessee Titans on Sunday to advance to the Super Bowl.

“It just put such a tragic end to such a wonderful day in Kansas City,” Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said at the scene, referencing the win. “It’s just hard to stand here and talk about this kind of tragedy on really one of the best days Kansas City has had in a long time.”
