Dad fires off handgun, takes off with baby son; later dumps child at cousin's house (Dayton, Ohio)

UNNAMED DAD was fighting with the mother of his 6-month-old son. He got so darn aggravated that he fired two shots from his handgun, before grabbing the baby and taking off. He later dumped the baby off at a cousin's house. I guess we should be glad he didn't leave the baby in a dumpster like another Dad did recently. Guess we weren't that interested in father-son together time, were we?

DAYTON — An angry father fired two shots from a .45-caliber handgun into a house in the 3700 block on Cornell Woods Drive and grabbed his 6-month-old son before fleeing on foot into the night, police said.

As of 10 p.m. Wednesday, July 29, the baby was safe with police and the father was still at large, Lt John Bardun said.

The incident began about 8:22 p.m. as a fight between the baby’s mother and the father, who police declined to identify, Bardun said.

At some point, the father pulled out a handgun, discharged it twice, and ran off with the baby.

He later turned over the baby — unhurt — to a cousin, who then delivered the baby to police parked at the father’s house on Prescott Avenue.

Police were searching the city for the father, Bardun said.
