Police officers were dispatched to the Kinloch Volunteer Fire Department in Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania, shortly after 6 p.m. for a shooting inside the fire hall.

"This was not an active shooter event, but rather an isolated family incident during a baby shower," he said. A preliminary investigation showed the incident began as a family argument about gifts at the baby shower. It escalated into a physical fight and then gunfire when the "suspect introduced a nine-millimeter semiautomatic handgun" and fired three shots into the crowd of about 25 friends and family, the chief said.

At the time of the press briefing, their specific injuries were unknown.

Of all the family disagreements I’ve been in and witnessed not once was a weapon ever pulled. Not. Once.

What should you get a 1-year old baby? I have a party coming up next weekend for my grand nephew. I was going to get a rattle because I can't think of anything else to get a 1-year old baby.

I can get a more expensive rattle - one that costs more than $5.

Kevlar onesie.

If he is in this area you might consider a Glock.

A toy car or firetruck that has sound effects. Or a little boy tool set.

Go to Sam’s if there’s one near. They often have terrific stuff for boys.

And don’t forget, he’ll grow into it.

Thanks, I like the idea of getting him something he can grow into as opposed to something he might have already outgrown.
