PHILADELPHIA (LifeSiteNews) – A violent tragedy found a silver lining over the weekend as Philadelphia doctors were able to safely deliver the newborn baby of a woman who had been shot to death.
Fox 29 reports that 19-year-old Matayah Haynes was shot in the head sometime before 1:30AM Saturday by an unknown assailant. She was rushed to Temple University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, but doctors were able to save her baby, who is reportedly in stable but critical condition.
“Witnesses reportedly heard gunshots and saw a car leave the scene, possibly a dark-colored Dodge Charger or Chevy Camaro,” the report says. “No arrests have been made and no weapons recovered.”
