SULPHUR, La. (KPLC/Gray News) - A mother in Louisiana is accused of killing her 1-year-old daughter, according to authorities.
Sulphur Police Department responded to the home after 8 p.m. on New Year’s Day.
The victim’s father, Bradley Moss, said he heard a boom and ran into the room to find Kristin Bass allegedly holding a gun.
The baby, identified as Acelynn Moss had been shot.
“I almost lost two babies. I lost one because her mama wanted to send her to God,” he said.
“[My older daughter] said, ‘Help me, Daddy.’ And Kristin said, ‘I just sent our baby to God,’” Moss said. “She said, ‘Now I gotta get her.’”
Moss said the Department of Children and Family Services took custody of the older child.
Bass was charged with first-degree murder. Her bond was set at $10 million.
