Epitome of a bad father is just the tip of the iceberg, when describing this trifling, sorry, piece of sh*t.
This scum of the earth actually had nerve to use his two-year-old and three-year-old as human shields!!! After he was approached by someone saying he owed them money, he began firing shots at them, while holding his kids in his arms. To make matters worse, when police tried to stop him, he THREW those babies at them in an attempt to escape arrest!!!
Police said a man shot at two people in broad daylight while holding his children, ages 2 and 3, in his arms on Monday.
Swissvale Police Chief Greg Geppert said the shooting happened around 3:20 p.m. on Dickson Street, just around the corner from the borough’s police station.
“According to the witnesses, he was using the 2-year-old and the 3-year-old as a shield for himself as he fired shots at other people in the middle of the street,” said Geppert.
Surveillance video showed two men walking toward the intersection of Dickson and Noble streets before running back into a parking lot.
According to the criminal complaint, one of the men in the video walked up to the shooting suspect and said he owed him money. That’s when the gunman started shooting, the complaint said.
Channel 4 Action News’ Marcie Cipriani reported that officers heard four shots and ran to the scene and quickly made an arrest.
“Just four bangs, that’s all. We all ran and, I mean, my God. It sounded so close,” one woman told Channel 4 Action News.
Police said the shots were fired from just a few feet away. Neither the children nor the targets were hurt.
“We’re not safe. We’re probably going to move out of here. It’s just getting terrible,” said another witness who did not want to be identified.
Police said the suspect tried to escape officers by throwing his children at them.
When he was arrested, police said the suspect told police that he was a 26-year-old Homewood man. However, on Tuesday, police said the suspect had given them a false name.
The suspect’s real name is Desmond Lyons.
Lyons was taken to the Allegheny County Jail, and family members are watching the children.
He’s facing charges that include aggravated assault and child endangerment. He is being held on $500,000 bond.
This dumb f*cker. SMH. Hope they put him UNDER the jail!
Poor babies. It is a blessing they were not hurt.
