Fire breaks out amid standoff after 7-month-old shot several times in Surprise neighborhood

UPDATE: Surprise police originally stated that the child was 6 months old and clarified Monday that the child is 7 months old.
Surprise police are investigating an armed standoff that developed into a massive house fire hours after a 7-month-old was shot several times near Loop 303 and Cactus Road Friday. Police say they originally received a call from a woman around 11:30 a.m. who said she escaped from being held hostage since 3 a.m. after the father of her child broke into her house. The woman also told police that the baby was still inside and could be in danger.

My heart hurts for this mom & her child. What a horrible thing for a father to do to his child and the mother of his child. It's just devastating & I hope she has a very large circle of love & support.

Cowards always are low life’s with no self respect or worth. What a nut job to hurt another person especially your own child. Lock him up forever!! Prayers for the innocent baby & mom.

I almost bought a house around this area. Until I saw the kind of people that live in the surrounding area. Don't be fooled by nice looking homes, it's who lives in these homes that count.
