A 5-year-old boy from Chattanooga, Tenn., made a heartbreaking call to the police on Sunday telling the dispatcher that "my daddy and my mama got shot."
The boy, who seemed too young to know his address, calmly tells the dispatcher that "this dude shot ’em" and asks her to "tell the police officers to come."
The police found George Dillard, 24, and Lakita Hicks, 25, dead in the house, according to News Channel 9. They say the child, who remains unnamed, is unharmed and is currently with extended family.
The boy remained on the phone with the dispatcher for more than a minute, as she repeatedly reassured him that help was on the way. When asked by the dispatcher whether his parents were talking, the child replied, "No. They dead."
The boy's father, Dillard, was a gang member, but police have not said whether the shooting was gang related and have not released information about a suspect, reports the Times Free Press.

Poor little boy.
Sad.
Obama has done everything to hurt the black family in America. Bringing in Hispanics to replace them in the job market. Blaming the white man rather than encouraging education and self reliance.
Blacks have cursed themselves as a community supporting pro abort Democrats. God have mercy on them and us all.

Many blacks have finally realized it but not enough have.
It is a travesty that the first black president had to be the lowest, most vile of scum who was dredged up from the bottom of the cesspool.
A good black man or woman could have done wonders for our country.
Amen to that. :(
I wonder if the people who killed them know that Black Lives Matter.
Poor little baby! :( That kid is going to be screwed up for life.
Wow that’s a powerful video.
If he had said "a white cop shot them" instead of "this dude shot them," his parents' murders would matter to #blacklivesmatter.
True.
Poor child. He has seen much horror in his life.
I haven’t even clicked on your link yet and I’m getting chills. Is it The Little Girl? Oh man, I’m saving it for later.
This poor little guy. Sounds like he was so calm because this was just another day in his world. Nothin he hasn’t seen before; it just got his parents this time. So awful.
Yes it is. It’s hard to get through without a tear.
Yes. That song is over 15 years old. I used to turn it off every time it cam on the car radio - for obvious reasons.
The boy's father, Dillard, was a gang member,
I read the story and understand his situation. Hopefully the extended family will be better.
Ain’t Liberalism just Grand!/s
Hopefully at Five, he will be able to forget a lot and will now live in a loving, nurturing environment.
