Police: Baby Dies After Pregnant Woman Shoots Self In Stomach

[johnnie]

"Elyria police said a pregnant woman shot herself in the stomach, killing her baby, but the woman may not face any criminal charges.

The Cuyahoga County coroner handled the autopsy and this week, Dr. Frank Miller ruled the death of the baby girl a homicide.

Still, it may be difficult for police and prosecutors to go after the 36-year-old woman for murder, reported NewsChannel5's Bob Jones.

Police said the woman walked into Chris's Bar on Sept. 1 looking for her boyfriend, believed to be the father of the baby.

Investigators said that a short time later, the couple got into the man's pickup truck parked at a nearby parking lot, and during an argument, the woman took a semiautomatic pistol and shot herself in the abdomen.

Elyria police responded within minutes, trying to figure out who shot the five-months pregnant woman, later determining that the wound was self-inflicted."

6. Headline is in error:

It should read: FETUS dies after pregnant woman shoots self in ABDOMEN

This is a baby:


This is a fetus:


This is a stomach:

Note that it is a hollow organ foud within the abdominal cavity.

This is an abdomen:

It contains many things, including the stomach and occasionally a fetus or two.

On edit: I hate when journalists don't know proper use if the English language.
