"To take a one-year-old child from their family, to not give them the future they deserve is unacceptable and something that we will not tolerate," Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert said.
Police say the baby was sleeping next to his mother when he was shot. Officers tried to stop the bleeding but were unable to save him.
