IN BRIEF

FURTHER INVESTIGATION

Child shot and killed while in car seat

Seconds after killing a 21-year-old father during a suspected home-invasion robbery on Friday in Sacramento, Calif., two suspects shot and killed the man's 7-month-old son who was seated in a car seat, police said Sunday as they released new details on the case.

Investigators initially reported that the father, Sean Paul Aquitania, was killed inside a home after an attempted robbery and that his infant son, Sean Paul Aquitania Jr., was caught in the crossfire. But a more thorough investigation over the weekend determined that the son had been murdered execution-style in the car seat of his dad's Chevrolet Malibu.

"We are angered as law enforcement officers and disturbed as human beings that anyone could commit such an unconscionable act against an innocent child," said sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Tim Curran.

Authorities are still searching for the suspects, Curran said.

NO CONTEST PLEA

Woman sent to mental hospital in kidnap try

A woman who tried to snatch a 6-month-old baby from a nanny who was pushing him in a stroller in an upscale shopping district in Redondo Beach, Calif., has been sent to a state mental hospital.

Monica Rubin, 47, was set to go on trial on charges of attempted kidnapping, but she changed her plea to no contest. Judge Francis Hourigan determined that Rubin was insane at the time of the 2006 incident.
