I believe it only reads she had a 4 yo.....Was it his kid???

Different man -- her mother said the other father is an ex-husband, according to this article:

Police: Cops fired into car not knowing infant was inside


The above article also said:

Kager's mother, Gina Best, said... that it would have made more sense for police to wait until her daughter and her grandson were out of the car to apprehend Perry and that she doesn't believe that her daughter knew what Perry may have been involved in.

"My greatest fear is it will be doctored ... to make India seem like she's part of dark behavior. India was not of that element," Best said. "Her upbringing, everything about my daughter — she walked the straight and narrow. She was a wonderful person."

Sigh. Another Dindu Nuffin. The guy had two loaded guns on him in the car she was driving with her baby in the back, and she didn't know anything? Mother, please.

BTW, the article says she was a "culinary specialist." I guess that's Navyspeak for "cook." So, not many opportunities for good conduct medals except on a regular rotation.

Not enough information here for cheering.

Were the officers CLEARLY identifiable as police?
Did they identify themselves as police?
Why did they follow for 30 minutes?
Were the usual red and blue lights used first?

Or did four men in dark clothes jump out of a vehicle that had been suspiciously following the couple for half an hour and run towards the couples’ car? In which case most people would think “bad guys attacking:.

The all too common plain “uniforms” with “ghosted” insignia don’t belong as part of civilian police uniforms.

What next? Just a POLICE ball cap as in the Soylent Green movie?

This does NOT meet my standards of a “good shoot”.It is too much like the Cleveland execution of the couple in the parked car justified because the police mistook a backfiring engine for gunshots.

This is the kind of police action that gives ammunition to the blacks who call for murdering police.

You’d think everyone has had a chance to view the Chris Rock video on how to react to the PO-lice.

Many women crave excitement, danger, and thrills. Gangsters provide this in spades.

The perp's car was in front of the store.

The Caddy can be seen briefly in video taken the night of the shooting. Virginia Beach Police on woman killed at 7-Eleven: ‘It was accidental. It was not intended’

I'd bet that the store's camera's (if they have any), would have caught the scenario as it unfolded.

The 7-11 is about a mile from my house. I could look and see if they're are camera's .

You conveniently missed the bit about him shooting at officers 4 times.

“Four Virginia Beach officers fired 30 rounds in 7-Eleven shootout”

I am sure that the headline NOT mentioning that the officers returned fire is just an oversight on th epart of the Virginia Pilot.

Yeah sure.

That is not what I consider a “police uniform”, they are BDUs. Dress like a soldier, and after a while you think you are one.

If a rational CCW licensed individual had someone follow him for 30 minutes, then have 4 men in non-nondescript dark clothing converge on his car in a parking lot, the end result would likely be the same.

There are proper and safer ways to initiate a felony stop, but then you don’t get to shoot your toys as much.

Not saying the guy wasn’t a dirtbag, but this is not a success story for LEOs.

Unfortunately, a lot of women like the bad boys. I never understood it either, but it’s true.

Yup, what a horrible thought. That the blameless little baby will suffer for this tragedy. let’s all say a little prayer for the tiny innocent one in this mess.

I'm with you.

Sad to think that this might be the best thing to happen to this kid.

30 rounds? I'll ask the same question I ask myself after 15 seconds of combat drill:

How many of those rounds were NOT in the 'kill zone'?"

Anything over 2/30 "outside" calls for more practice...

~~~~~~~~~~

30 rounds? that's ten (10) "Mozambiques" -- shared between two (2) targets -- and four (4) LEOs...

That's seven (7) rounds per LEO -- (2)plus a couple of "extras". Doesn't sound like excessive firing to me -- considering that there were two targets (shooter & driver)-- and they were both shielded by being inside a vehicle...

~~~~~~

Can't help but wonder what fraction of 30 rounds four "professionals" put "in the zone(s)"...

Sorry but things can happen when you are in a car with someone who is shooting at a cop!

Hmmmm. Is there an ammo shortage in VB? Or was it a show of restraint. Thirty rounds from 4 officers seems low to me. Or maybe they only had 10 rd magazines/clips/feeding devices.

Really??? You want the police to just chat with a career criminal who just fired at them??? Have you ever been a policeman?
