Teenage Father Christopher Earl Glass Stabs 5 Month Old Son to Death After Abduction in Palmdale, Later Killed by Police

Christopher Earl Glass, 17, stabs five month old son to death after abducting child from mother, later killed by police during foot chase in Palmdale.

Teenage father Christopher Earl Glass is accused of the unthinkable -- stabbing his five-month old son to death. According to KTLA, an Amber Alert had been issued for the child and his 17 year old father around 2:00 Tuesday afternoon in Palmdale, the TV station said. The child, Christopher Earl Glass Jr., later died at an area hospital. Glass was shot and killed by the police during a foot chase.

According to the alert, Glass picked up his 5-month-old son from a relative's home earlier today and drove to the child's mother's home. The two argued, and Glass drove off with the boy still inside his white SUV. Glass then allegedly sent a text message to the mother, threatening to stab the boy.

At about 3:30 p.m. deputies who were searching for the baby saw Glass driving in the area and began to follow him. The deputies saw the suspect motion in a manner that appeared as though he was stabbing the baby as he drove his car. Attempting to get him to stop, deputies went in pursuit of the suspect's vehicle.

There aren't enough words for me to express my sadness at the fate this child met. This is such a tragedy and the baby didn't deserve to leave this world like this. His father did this to inflict untold grief and pain on the child's mother. This was a deliberate act meant to tell the mother he had the upper hand. I am sorry he was shot and killed. He should have lived to face his punishment.
