If it can walk it's a toddler, but that's a weird thing to get hung up on in this context. Is it morally any different to kill an infant or a four-year-old? (It's not, it's unimaginably heinous either way.)

I guess I'm the only one who thinks it's even worse to shoot a baby.

With all due respect, I think you're hung up on the wrong thing, and I hope you're not trying to imply that I'm trying to downplay the seriousness of the issue by saying it's a toddler. It doesn't matter of it's a baby or a toddler. One innocent child getting shot is far too many.

I'm not hung up on it. And no, I wasn't trying to say that. I just like to be accurate, and it does sound somehow even worse if you accurately say that it was a baby.
