The police said an adult was at home when the incident happened and a woman called the Police at 2.31pm on Thursday, March 22, 2018.
A nearby resident in the city of Temple said he saw a police officer carrying a “lifeless-looking” baby out to an ambulance.

“The police officer carried [the infant] out,” witness Bradley Martin said.
“The baby just looked lifeless in his hands. You know what I mean. There was blood all over [the infant].
They put the baby in the back of an ambulance and took off down the road.”
