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.

(1) The person is a fugitive from justice.
(2) The person is under indictment for or has been convicted of any felony offense of violence or has been adjudicated a delinquent child for the commission of an offense that, if committed by an adult, would have been a felony offense of violence.
(3) The person is under indictment for or has been convicted of any felony offense involving the illegal possession, use, sale, administration, distribution, or trafficking in any drug of abuse or has been adjudicated a delinquent child for the commission of an offense that, if committed by an adult, would have been a felony offense involving the illegal possession, use, sale, administration, distribution, or trafficking in any drug of abuse.

(C) For the purposes of this section, “under operation of law or legal process” shall not itself include mere completion, termination, or expiration of a sentence imposed as a result of a criminal conviction.
“The baby or the gun?”
Yes.
“WTF- disabled people are not allowed to have weapons!!!!!!”
His disability is “failure to make good decisions”.
I’m glad no one hung that title on me when I bought that Yugo in my wild misspent youth.
Unfortunately, I have been in situations similar to this.
No gun, but vehicles driven at high speeds, with people that do not care about the rules of the road.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
