Father from hell: Man shoots 3-months-old son in the head then kills himself

Crime tape seals off   the residential neighborhood where the shootings took place.

At a family gathering where nothing appeared out of the ordinary, a 25-year-old man calmly walked outside carrying his 3-month-old son, got into his car, then shot the baby in the head before turning the gun on himself, according to Arizona police.

Distraught family members say they have no idea why the young father did what he did.

Police were called about 2 a.m. Sunday by a hysterical relative who said a 3-month-old baby had been shot in the head, Chandler Police Det. Seth Tyler told KPNX TV.

In a quiet residential neighborhood, investigators found the body of the unidentified man in the front seat of a car. In his lap was the tiny body of his baby boy.

The man and his girlfriend, the baby’s mother, were attending a family party in Chandler, a prominent Phoenix suburb, when the boyfriend walked outside with the baby. Relatives thought nothing of it, they said, because everything seemed just fine.

“We have no indications as to why he did what he did right now,” Tyler said.

Until Sunday morning, there had been no record homicides in Chandler this year, Tyler said.

Family members were not the only ones impacted by the sorrowful sight.

Police vehicles cordoned off streets near the shootings in Chandler, Ariz.

“A lot of the officers that were working that (case) were fairly new” and were horrified by what they saw, Tyler said.

“The dispatcher, she couldn’t even talk, she was so upset,” Tyler said.

Names of the dead, as well as those of relatives, are being withheld by police because relatives are still being notified.
