Pregnant woman killed in shooting delivered of baby born by C-section

What a pity for her baby who has just been born without a mother!

Candice Rochelle Bobb, 35, of Malton, was in the back seat of a car near John Garland Boulevard and Jamestown Crescent in suburban Rexdale, Canada,  when someone in a vehicle driving in the opposite direction started shooting, striking the pregnant woman, according to Homicide Det.-Sgt. Mike Carbone, who provided an update Monday morning. 

Bobb's premature baby was delivered by emergency C-section at Etobicoke General Hospital, and then taken in an incubator to Sunnybrook hospital.

"For some reason, only known to the offender at this point, that vehicle was certainly targeted," said Carbone about the vehicle that Bobb was sitting in.

The three other people with Bobb were not hurt and Bobb was driven to Etobicoke General Hospital, where she was pronounced dead and the baby was delivered. After the delivery, the baby was transported to the trauma centre at Sunnybrook hospital. 

'No baby should come into this world without a mother.'

There are no details on the gender of the baby as at press time.
