Gunman holding a baby shoots at three women during road rage clash, Ohio police say

A man armed with a gun is accused of holding a baby as he fired at three women during a road-rage shooting in Ohio, police say.

The bizarre scene unfolded after two women crashed their vehicles in Cincinnati on Wednesday. A 54-year-old woman said she and another driver were involved in the minor collision that didn’t cause any damage and “words were exchanged” afterward, according to police.

“I’m gonna go get my man,” the 54-year-old recalled the other woman telling her, police said. “You better go get yours.”

About half an hour later, 31-year-old Ladon Penn arrived and walked into a home before reappearing with gun, police said.

A screenshot from a video obtained during the investigation captured Penn holding a handgun in his right hand while holding a baby with his left arm, police said. Another screenshot shows him pointing the gun while holding the baby.

Penn is accused of shooting at the 54-year-old and two women with her. A bullet ricocheted and grazed the 54-year-old’s forearm, police said.

She was treated for the minor gunshot wound at the scene.

Officers arrested Penn and found a 9mm handgun shortly after he left the scene of the shooting with the other woman, police said.

Penn was charged with felonious assault, child endangering and having weapons while under disability.

Why is confrontation always their first instinct?

Makes sense to me. You can get in BIG trouble if you leave the baby in the car during summer.

Because they have no fathers to teach them self control. They only have other hood rats who also have no self control as examples.

Is the baby wearing a cast?

This kid has a “father.” Is this the kind of example the ghetto rats learn from?

A convicted felon who is not allowed to even touch a firearm - it’s supposed to be a 5 year sentence for that charge alone IIRC.

Could have knee-capped this useless subhuman and made him both mentally & physically disabled.

A look at those charges shows what happens when lawyers get elected to make laws for the benefit of lawyers.

Because they aren’t capable of reasoning. Because they have no common sense. Everything is RIGHT NOW. They cannot think past NOW, to come to a logical conclusion. Because they don’t look toward the future. Hell they don’t say where do you “live”. They say where do you “stay”. Like you’re spending a few days here then a few days somewhere else.
It’s all temporary. Their past, their present and their future.

I would say based on the photo, the man is guilty of holding a baby. Never argue with a man holding a baby.

The gentleman shielding himself with a baby while discharging a firearm at three women - and wounding one - is exploiting a key tactical advantage.

1. The baby represents an excellent bullet-absorbing shield - in case of return-fire.

2. If he runs out of ammo, he can then use the baby as a melee weapon to pummel the women.

Regards,
