News 18A man shot his 6-month-old baby multiple times Friday at a home northwest of Phoenix after taking the infant and its mother captive, but the mother escaped with minor injuries and the child was expected to survive, authorities said. “The infant victim was airlifted to a nearby hospital in serious condition, but injuries are believed to be non-life threatening,” Surprise police said in a statement Friday night. “The female victim was treated at the scene for minor injuries and was transported to the hospital to be with the child.” SWAT officers surrounded the home in the afternoon, and Hernandez said investigators believed the man was still there. “The condition of the suspect will be unknown until it is safe for investigators to enter the residence,” police said in the statement Friday night.
