  Speaker 1: and an unnamed sixteen year old boy were dead. At
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: least ten others were rushed to local hospitals with various injuries,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: including several suffering from gunshot wounds. While a glock nine
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: millimeter handgun was recovered on a landing outside one of
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the units, the sheer number of cartridge casings found in
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a nearby alley suggests multiple weapons were utilized in the assault.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: M Maillo Police Chief Thomas Hover has confirmed that this
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: was not a random act of violence. He stated that
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the suspects have a direct affiliation with the targeted location
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and were known to at least one person at the party.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Despite this connection, the suspects remain at large. Chief Hover
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: has condemned the unacceptable criminal behavior and is urging anyone
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: with doorbell or security footage from the South Colter Street
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: area to come forward. Moving to Louisiana, a courtroom in
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Baton Rouge is the setting for a trial that has
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: horrified the nation, centering on a pattern of cruelty that
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: ended the life of a four year old girl. Roxanne
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Record fifty seven is facing a jury this week on
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: first degree murder charges. Prosecutors alleged she didn't just kill
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: her granddaughter, China Record, she tortured her. The incident dates
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: back to April twenty twenty two. According to Assistant District
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Attorney Dana Cummings, the punishment began when little China took
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a single sit from a whiskey bottle left on a
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: kitchen counter. In retaliation, prosecutors say Roxanne Record forced the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: child to her knees and made her consume the remainder
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of a seven hundred and fifty mili liter bottle of
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: eighty proof Canadian misted wins all the while the child's mother,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Kadja Record, allegedly stood by and watched her daughter die.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: The medical evidence in this case is staggering. When first
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: responders arrived at China's Wallace Street home, they found her unresponsive.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: An autopsy later revealed her blood alcohol content was point
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: six eight zero. That is more than eight times the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: legal limit. For an adult driver. During opening statements, the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: prosecution painted a bleak picture of China's life, alleging she
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: was marginalized by her grandmother, who never liked her and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: treated her differently than the other children in the home.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It was a household where China's own siblings were reportedly
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: conditioned to believe she was stealing if she tried to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: access food or water. The defense, led by Attorney Caitlin Falkes,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: isn't denying the tragedy, but is arguing it was a
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: horrific accident rather than a premeditated murder. They claim Record
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: attempted CPR to save the girl, and that the state
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: cannot prove the specific intent recorded for a first degree
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: murder conviction. If the jury disagrees, Roxanne Record faces a
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole. The mother,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Coadja Record, will face her own day in court later
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: this summer. More crime and justice news after this. In
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: New York, a Long Island man is behind bars today,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: accused of a brutal retaliatory attack following a break up.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney announced the indictment of
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: forty two year old Robert Shreeber on charges including attempted
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: murder and burglary. The details provided by the die's office
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: paint a terrifying picture of domestic escalation. Authority say Schreeber's
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: long term girlfriend ended their relationship on April seventeenth and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: took the precaution of locking him out of her home
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: in Patchog, but those locks weren't enough. The very next morning,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: around eight a m. Shreeber allegedly crawled back into the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: house through an unlocked window while the family was asleep.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: He didn't go for his ex girlfriend. Instead, he allegedly
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: targeted her twenty two year old son. Prosecutors say Shreeber
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: kicked in the young man's bedroom door and began a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: frenzied attack, stabbing the victims seven times across his head, neck,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and shoulders. The victim was only able to escape the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: house after other family members intervened and called nine one one.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Police arrested Shreeber at the scene and reportedly found the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: knife used in the stabbing in his possession. The victim survived,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: but required numerous staples to close the wound sustained in
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: his own bed. D A. Tierney used the indictment as
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a somber reminder that domestic violence often escalates when a
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: relationship ends. Shreeber is currently being held on a one
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: million dollar bond and faces up to twenty five years
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: in prison if convicted. For the latest crime and justice
