The U.S. experienced another tragic day Thursday when at least 10 people were shot and killed at Umpqua Community College in southwest Oregon. In Cleveland, a 5-month-old baby was shot in the chest and killed in a shooting.

According to WKYC, Cleveland's NBC affiliate, eight kids under age 15 were shot in the city in September, more than any other month.
The baby was identified by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner as Aavielle Wakefield. Shots were allegedly fired from an apartment building, hitting the car Wakefield was in.
