Title: Police: Cops fired into car not knowing infant was inside

The four police officers who shot and killed two people inside a vehicle during a gunfight in a convenience store parking lot didn't realize there was an infant in the back seat of the car until after the gunfire stopped, police said Tuesday.

Angelo Delano Perry, a 35-year-old Virginia Beach resident with an extensive criminal history, and 28-year-old postal carrier India Kager of College Park, Maryland, were shot to death Saturday night less than 15 seconds after officers approached the parked vehicle they were in. The couple's 4-month old son, Roman, was sitting in the rear of the vehicle in a car seat and escaped uninjured, said Virginia Beach Police Chief Jim Cervera.

Perry had been under surveillance for about 30 minutes on the night of the shooting, Cervera said at a news conference. The police chief said Perry was a person of interest in a homicide investigation and that police had received information he may have been about to commit a violent act. Cervera did not say what, specifically, police thought Perry was about to do, and did not provide any details about the homicide investigation.

"In essence, the officers put themselves in harm's way to prevent another act of violence," he said. "Our officers did everything they could to try and circumvent any kind of violent confrontation."

Perry fired four rounds at officers as they approached the vehicle, including one that struck an officer's clothing, but did not hit his body, Cervera said. He said the officers returned 30 rounds of fire at Perry and unintentionally also hit Kager, who was in the driver's seat.

Police found two guns and the child in the car after the shooting ended, Cervera said. The officers, who have between nine and 17 years of experience, were part of a special operations unit and were not wearing body cameras, he said.

Perry was recently released from prison after serving 12 years of a 13-year prison sentence on a malicious-wounding charge for shooting someone in the back. Court records show he also was charged with assaulting a police officer in 2000. In 2013, Perry was denied parole, in part, because he had a history of drug use and violent crimes and was considered a threat to society.

Each of the officers involved in Saturday's shooting has been placed on administrative duty while the shooting is investigated by the police department and the commonwealth attorney's office, Cervera said. He declined to release the identities of the officers, saying the police department had received threats. Perry and Kager were black; the four officers are white.

Kager's mother, Gina Best, said in a telephone interview from her home in Columbia, Maryland, on Tuesday that it would have made more sense for police to wait until her daughter and her grandson were out of the car to apprehend Perry and that she doesn't believe that her daughter knew what Perry may have been involved in.

"My greatest fear is it will be doctored ... to make India seem like she's part of dark behavior. India was not of that element," Best said. "Her upbringing, everything about my daughter - she walked the straight and narrow. She was a wonderful person."

Best said Kager's father and grandfather were both retired police officers in Washington, and Best said Kager was quiet, introverted and artistically talented. She said Kager attended the Duke Ellington School for the Arts in Washington before she followed in the footsteps of her older brother and joined the military.

Military records show Kager was in the Navy from 2009 to 2013 and served as a culinary specialist. She was briefly attached to the Naval Aviation Technical Training Center in Pensacola, Florida, in 2010 before moving to Virginia Beach, where she was attached to two strike fighter squadrons for the remainder of career. The Navy said she was awarded a ribbon for pistol marksmanship and medals for good conduct and serving in the global war on terrorism. The U.S. Postal Service said Kager had been working as a carrier in Bethesda, Maryland, since August.

Best said her daughter had only been in Virginia Beach for a few hours the night of the shooting. While she said Kager and Perry were romantically involved, she said she had never met him before and knew little about him.

"I'm devastated because she should still be alive nursing her son, my grandson," she said. "We're talking about a very beautiful soul that should still be here. She was unarmed, she was completely innocent. They shot indiscriminately."

Best said Kager also had a 4-year-old son with a man she had been married to in Florida.

Perry was recently released from prison after serving 12 years of a 13-year prison sentence on a malicious-wounding charge for shooting someone in the back.

Sounds like an online hookup romance turned tragic. Or maybe a classic prison letter romance.

I don't like this woman getting killed but I'm not seeing how the officers were at fault.

When someone in the seat next to you pulls a gun and starts shooting at the cops, they're going to shoot back. Either take cover or bail out because bullets will fly.

Trying to date a man convicted of malicious wounding by shooting someone in the back is a fairly bad idea. And he served 12 years of the 13 year sentence, indicating he probably had bad behavior in prison or he would have got paroled sooner.

P.S. Don't take your baby with you on your Dream Date With A Shitbird.

"Police: Cops fired into car not knowing infant was inside"

What a bullshit headline. How about:

"Man Fires From Car at Police With Infant in Back Seat"

It's a libtarded platform staple to hate cops. MSM is libtarded, almost all of it including this news source or Deckatds drug loving "alternative news" are bias and libtard slanted. Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to poorly written articles regarding law enforcement DPF.

The article title should read, "Idiot in car fires at cops not caring that infant was inside car."

I notice the mother accusing the cops of recklessness in failing to wait to apprehend him.

However, they claim they had credible info that he was involved in a recent murder and that he was planning to commit another murder very soon.

If they hadn't acted immediately and he had managed to murder someone else, they would get blamed for that too.

So it will be interesting to see if more info surfaces about his intent to commit another murder very soon. Certainly, his willingness to open fire on cops -- along with his malicious wounding prison term -- with his woman and her baby in the car tells us a lot about his habitual criminality.

As with many of these cases, basic facts are contradictory. The baby is 4 months. Or is it 6 months? Their romance was recent. Or was he the baby's father? Given all the conflicts in the basic facts being reported, we do know they can't all be correct so we have to wait for some facts to emerge.

Sounds like she had a romantic online affair with him and he's a criminal.

I'm not too concerned with the details... as long as someone investigates the justification for the use of DPF... and if the officers were justified and two shitbirds are dead, while baby is alive and well... then it's a story with a happy ending.

Shit happens, people die. I'm glad I'm not responsible for investigating this incident... I'd rather cut the grass in my yard.

As far as mommy accusing LE of recklessness, she has a right to her agenda based opinion. Her agenda is to completely ignore her idiot daughters poor choices to run with an armed douche bag.

I'm prepared to accept the mother's claims that her daughter was innocent. She says the girl was too trusting. Obviously, her choice in men and two babies out of wedlock makes that clear.

I feel badly for her mother and her baby and her 4yo. But if you hang out with a murdering shitbird, don't be too surprised when the cops open fire on him.

Exactly. We should always live and die by our choices... not make excuses for them. That's a libtarded trait.

Her father and grandfather are retired police. She followed her brother into the Navy. And her mother said she was never in trouble in her life, probably true.

Her death is tragic but it is the fault of the shitbird boyfriend for opening fire on cops who naturally will shoot back. He almost succeeded in killing one, who came away with a bullet hole in his shirt.

She sounds like a sweet gullible girl from a good family who fell in with a bad man that got her killed in a shootout.

I'll be interested to hear from her cop dad and cop granddad. I kinda doubt they will be as bitter toward the cops as the mother is. No doubt, the mother is overcome with grief.

We'll see where the facts take us.

All could be true...but it doesn't make me feel a shred more sorry (another libtard trait) for mother Theresa... is she voluntarily jumped in a car driven drunk by the Pope... and she dies in a fatal car vs tree mva.

Choices, they're a bitch.
