Caught on camera: The horrific moment a mother and baby were hit by a car... but survived
uploaded by renovatio
A pair of carjackers, believed by police to have been recently released by the Department of Corrections in Arizona, tossed a 4-month old baby from the Impala they had just stolen. As the pair were fleeing the scene witnessed cried out that a baby was on board, prompting one of the men to shoot out the window and toss the baby out on the street. The infant was still in a car seat at the time.
The pair are also accused of shooting a man in the arm during a botched carjacking attempt just 30 minutes before.
The suspects are identified as Arthur Galindo, 29, and Romulo Cardona, 23, said Sgt. Andy Hill, a Phoenix police spokesman.
Galindo, armed with a shotgun, fired the weapon at the vehicle's window, Hill said. Broken glass rained down on top of the woman's 4-month-old daughter, who was still strapped in a car seat.
Galindo climbed into the driver's seat and attempted to flee in the woman's vehicle, Hill said, while Cardona drove off in an Impala.
As Galindo drove off, witnesses yelled that a child was in the back seat.
Witnesses said Galindo stopped and flung the infant to the pavement while still in her car seat. The child received only minor injuries, Hill said.
The two men have been charged with a myriad of crimes; ranging from armed robbery to weapons possession and felony flight. Cardona has also been connected to a September 8 home invasion and carjacking in a Pheonix suburb.

They won't last long in prison when others find out what they did

Obviously these poor underprivileged people, while in jail, did not recieve the proper child-care training necessary to facilitate their re-entry to society ... when are we going to fix our broken prison system ?
