A mother saved her six-month-old baby with her 'last breath,' sheltering the infant in the toilet after her boyfriend shot her in the head and turned the gun on himself.
Jessica Arrendale, 33, was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head along with Antoine Davis, 30, who police believe shot himself and Arrendale in a murder-suicide in an Atlanta suburb.
Police had surrounded Arrendale's townhouse. When they finally entered the home, they found the baby safe inside and rushed her to the hospital to treat her for hypothermia.

Is this black on white crime, a hate crime, or domestic violence?
For later
Sleep with dogs... get fleas.
You’re right about that one.
PTSD?
um..
wow.
I just dont get it, and never will.
I’m just too old I guess.
At least the sex was good. We know what these relationships are based on.
s this black on white crime, a hate crime, or domestic violence?
Yes.
I knew a guy that used to refer to those situations as “jungle fever”...
“Who’d believe he’d once been a Marine?” - Kinky Friedman, from “The Ballad of Charles Whitman”
Yep.
I think the media has already called it "workplace violence."
You know... I can understand it when it’s some obese white trash no one wanted any way, but... wow...
that girl could have had any one.
Since she was a civilian, Jessica Arrendale should be recommended for a posthumous Congressional Gold Medal for heroism.
Domestic violence is much higher in non-marriage relationships than married ones. Then you have the problem of blacks disproportionately violent more than any other race. On top of that, blacks are disproportionately more violent to whites than vice versa.
So she made several mistakes.
1) Being in a shack up situation.
2) Living with a black guy.
3) Always returning to the guy after being beaten by him and continuing the relationship.
Three strikes, she’s out...for good.
Beautiful, but dumb.
That girl won the genetic power ball lottery of life, but decided to trade in her winning ticket for a bottle of malt liquor.
Millionaires would have lined up around the block just for a chance to go on a date with her.
So she was shot in the head, the beau shot himself in the head, and then she put the baby in the toilet?
How is that heoric?
That’s what the story says happened.
There’s some nasty, racist stuff on this thread. This has nothing to do with race.
The guy was a Marine, so maybe at one point, he was rational and nice - something must have made her fall for him. And the baby is adorable.
Women stay in abusive relationships because they keep hoping that someday, somehow, he’s going to come around and be that nice guy they fell in love with. He won’t, but most women live on hope when it comes to men. Plus with an adorable baby like that, she probably wanted to have Daddy stay and help bring up his little girl.
Interesting that this comes from a U.K. paper. Wife and I have gotten hooked on the current incarnation of ‘Dr. Who’. I can only think of one young couple on the show over the last 6 or 7 years that wasn’t bi-racial. Of course, on ‘Torchwood’, there was the obligatory homo ‘couple’.
