The most tragic part of this story is that he (with no knowledge of the child being there or intent to shoot anyone in particular in the window), killed an infant baby with a stray bullet. If I remember correctly, the baby's caretaker was there and was permenantly traumatized.

“Charles H. Cohen (January 31, 1937 – September 4, 2009) was the maternal grandfather of Carly Novell, who survived the February 14, 2018, shooting incident at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, by hiding in a closet like her grandfather did in 1949.”
