Cops rush wounded baby in squad car
"We believe they are an innocent group who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time," McCarthy said of the Monday shooting.
No arrests have been made, but police believe gang rivalry is behind the shooting, McCarthy said.
Heightening the drama, Officers John Conneely and Michael Modzelewski broke police protocol that typically discourages police officers from removing victims from a crime scene: They put the 11-month-old boy into their squad car and rushed him to a hospital, where the infant was in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries.
"It was a split-second decision," Modzelewski told reporters. He sat in the back seat applying pressure to the crying baby's gun wound.
"When we arrived on the scene, it was very chaotic, people yelling and screaming," said Conneely, who drove the cruiser. "We made a decision to try to get this child to the hospital."
The two officers are now credited with saving the baby's life.
