A woman is behind bars in Louisiana, USA after she shot and killed her 1-year-old child.
Kristin Bass killed the girl at a home on Quelqueshue Street on New Year’s Day, Sulphur Police Department spokesman Maj. Jason Gully said. Officers responded to the home after 8 p.m.
The victim’s father, Bradley Moss, identified her as Acelynn Moss.
Moss said he heard a boom and ran into the room to find Bass holding a gun. Acelynn had been shot, and their 2-year-old was crying for help.
“I almost lost two babies. I lost one because her mama wanted to send her to God. [My older daughter] said, ‘Help me, Daddy.’ And Kristin said, ‘I just sent our baby to God,’” Moss said. “She said, ‘Now I gotta get her.’”
Moss said the Department of Children and Family Services took custody of the older child.
Bass is jailed on a count of first-degree murder. Her bond was set at $10 million.
