"She's going to be in our hearts, like her little baby heart is going to be in somebody else's," Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn said during a news conference Saturday. "She will always be remembered - not just by her family, but by that family that she has given her little heart to."

Laylah Peterson was shot and killed Thursday night.
One or a few of Bammy’s outta control sons did this horrible act. Poor little girl was completely innocent-—as for Michael Brown, —not so much.
‘The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is issuing a reward up to $5,000 for information leading to a conviction.’
This would be the same ATF that screwed up a sting op in MIlwaukee and wound up losing thousands of $ and a MG. Oh ya...this should be good.
Sick.
I hope the animals are put down, with prejudice. ..
It is so sad to read of the death of this poor child or any other child.
Another victim of the government’s condoning of tribal warfare among some suspect classes.
animals don’t usually kill for the fun of it, or just because they feel like it.
These worthless POSs are lower than animals, wild feral beasts.
I retract my statement and unequivocally apologize to animals everwhere.
Except hyenas. ..
Al and Jesse on the way yet?
And I'll bet good money that none of them had a license to carry or had obtained the firearm from a licensed dealer.
So how would all the gun control measures in play today and being formulated have helped this little girl
Sitting on Grandpa’s lap in her own house and is taken by a bullet fired by some low-life gang member. There just are no words! RIP, Laylah.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
And there isn't one damned gun law that would have prevented this tragedy. But swift prosecution followed by swift application of the death penalty would sure help if only to reduce the population of these murders.
wink!
