A 1-year-old girl lying in her crib has been fatally shot by a gunman who opened fire outside her family's house in Compton. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials said the gunman got out of a car, walked up to the residence, and fired in the direction of a converted garage where Autumn Johnson, who had just celebrated her birthday last week, lived with her parents. One witness, who declined to give her full name, described hearing several gunshots followed by a woman screaming: “They shot my baby. They shot my baby.” The witness said she called 911 before walking outside, where she saw the baby's sobbing father emerge from the garage with his daughter in his arms. “Someone take my baby to the hospital,” the father said. Deputies who responded to the home near Holly Avenue and San Marcus Street took Autumn to St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood in their patrol car, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Ulysses Cruz said. She was pronounced dead at the hospital. Come on. She was only one. What if that was your kid?
