SWAT teams in Brunswick, Georgia are searching door-to-door for two boys – 10 and 15 years-old – accused of killing a 13 month-old boy, and wounding his mother.

They demanded money; when she said she had none, they shot her baby in the head and wounded her leg.

“We’re not leaving any stone unturned,” he said.
