Georgia Mother Saves Infant Daughter After Being Shot By Baby Daddy
Via NYDailyNews
As she lay dying, a young mother’s last act was to save her baby daughter by sliding her into a toilet and throwing herself over the bowl, according to her family.
Jessica Arrendale, 33, is considered a hero by her loved ones for her selfless concern for her 6-month-old baby after being shot in the head.
The Smyrna, Ga., mom was under attack by the drunken, abusive father of her child, Jessica’s mother Teresa Ionniello told WSB Radio Friday.
The fight started Saturday night after the two returned from dinner and Antoine Davis, 30, became belligerent, Ionniello said. Holding their baby, Jessica tried to defend herself with a baseball bat, but Davis took it from her, according to Inninello.
Davis struck Jessica several times with the bat, and she ran into a bathroom and locked the door. Davis, a former Marine, got an assault rifle and beat down the door. He shot Jessica once in the head.
WTF was this guy on???
“He shot her and they (police) don’t know how she was able to twist her body and fall literally in the opposite direction,” Ionniello told the station. Instead of falling onto the floor, Ionniello said her daughter fell over the toilet, dropping little Cobie into the bowl.
Davis later shot himself to death inside the home as police gathered outside.
The baby was discovered 13 hours later after cops stormed the home. The child has a traumatic head injury, which her
grandmother believes was caused by the baseball bat.
She is very proud of her slain daughter.
“She was the hero,” Ionniello said, “because her last breath was saving the child.”
This is about as sad a story as we’ve ever heard.
