Neighbor Shoots Crazed Father Who Fatally Stabbed His Own Infant Son

Horrified neighbors at Oak Forest Apartments in Lewisville, Texas did everything they could to save a 16-month-old boy after his father started stabbing him in the courtyard of their apartment complex. Witnesses said the man was screaming "Jesus is coming," and was trying to get people to come outside and watch.

As people started to come out of their homes to investigate the disturbance, the man started stabbing the young child with knives and a pair of scissors. One woman threw a trashcan off of her balcony at the man in an attempt to stop the attack. Another neighbor went inside his home, grabbed his gun and fired three shots, striking the crazed man in the leg and stopping the attack.

Unfortunately, the intervention came too late and the child was pronounced dead at the hospital.

“For them to witness something like that, I feel for them, you know. They had to endure the same thing the police and firefighters had to endure this afternoon to see that small baby get assaulted,” Captain Jesse Hunter told Fox4.

Law enforcement officials have not identified the father or his child and said that charges are pending against the 27-year-old. The family had no prior issues with police or Child Protective Services.

The neighbor who shot the man has also not been identified but police did say that he will not face charges.
