NEW YORK DAD ACCUSED OF KILLING 3-WEEK OLD DAUGHTER WITH CROSSBOW


NEW YORK OFFICIALS SAY THE MAN HAS A 'HISTORY' OF DOMESTIC INCIDENTS WITH IS
WIFE


By Adam Sabes | Fox News

A father in New York is accused of killing his 3-week-old daughter during an
argument with his wife early Monday morning.

The Broome County Sheriff's Office said in a press release that Patrick
Proefriedt, 26, got into an argument with his wife in the early morning hours on
Monday at their Nineveh residence when the incident happened.

Officials say that the woman was holding the infant when Proefriedt allegedly
fired a broadhead crossbow bolt, which was aimed at his wife, but instead hit
the baby first. The crossbow bolt "hit the child in the upper torso, exiting
near the armpit" before hitting the woman in her chest.

According to the press release, Proefriedt attempted to remove the bolt and
tried to stop his wife from calling 911. He then went on to allegedly flee from
the scene in a red 2016 Dodge Ram pickup truck before deputies arrived.

Proefriedt was located by officials less than a mile away from the house in a
wooded area after his pickup truck became stuck in the mud.

The man, according to deputies, had a "history of domestic incidents with the
victim" and had an "active Stay Away Order of Protection" in place.

"Our thoughts are with the family of this innocent 3-week-old girl. I commend
the quick and decisive action of our Law Enforcement division in responding to
this tragedy and ensuring Mr. Proefriedt did not escape justice," Akshar said.

Nineveh is a little over 3 hours northwest of New York City.
