krome2ez Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Another sad story that strengthens the fact that gun control does not work. Indiana Guardsman Gunned Down While Shielding 2-Year-Old Son February 13, 2013 11:08 PM Reporting Dana Kozlov http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8LItKi2Mis EAST CHICAGO (CBS) — Home from Afghanistan for just five months, 25-year-old Indiana National Guardsman Willie Cook was gunned down while shielding his two-year-old son. CBS 2′s Dana Kozlov reports its another case of mistaken identity, with no one in custody. Two-year-old Antoine Cook uses a toy cell phone to talk to his father. It’s all he has. “And to know that your 2 year old has to pretend to talk to his dad,” said Laquana Norwood. On February 2, Cook, was shot and killed while in a car near his grandmother’s East Chicago house where he was taking Antoine for a visit. The veteran was found on top of his little boy, shielding him from the 15 bullets that pierced the car. ” He saved his son he made sure that before he left the last thing he did make sure his son was okay,” said Norwood. Antoine was hit, too, in the left leg. Another bullet skimmed his right and a third grazed the toddler’s head. Police believe Cook’s murder was a case of mistaken identity, possible retaliation for another shooting just days before. The couple was planning their wedding, and a future. “Too come home not even five months later and for your life to be just taken away like that,” said Norwood. Norwood believes someone knows something and she wants them to speak up. Incidentally, Sgt. Cook was a member of national guard unit 713, the same unit that lost six members in Afghanistan last year. Cook also has another child. There is a fund set up to help the family with costs.

stonewall67 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Evil exists in this world! The only way it succeeds though is when good men and women sit back and do nothing....... Or when the government passes laws and regulations that make it impossible for good folks to do something!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog53 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yeah thats a dammed shame. With all their gun control according to our fearless leader Chicago should be the safest city in the US. They need to explain that to this poor mans wife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
