A 1-year-old boy who had just learned to say his name was killed while asleep in his bed, in what the Dallas police chief described as a 'deliberate and targeted' shooting.
Hall said that had Rory lived, he would have celebrated his second birthday on Jan. 24.
As of Monday, no arrests were made and police were asking the public for help in identifying the suspect. "He shot only into the bedroom. He angled the weapon in a downward position. And, because it was 3:30 in the morning, he knew that the residents of the home would be asleep and so he knew where to fire."
She said that in an unrelated incident in another section of Dallas over the weekend, an 8-year-old child was grazed by a bullet fired in the air at random.Directing her anger at the unidentified individuals responsible for the shootings, Hall said,"Whoever pulled these triggers, we will find you. Rest assured, we will find you."
