A 3-YEAR-OLD BOY WAS STRUCK BY GUNFIRE AS POLICE BURST INTO A BARRICADED ROOM, ENDING A FRIGHTENING HOSTAGE SITUATION.(PHOTO).


 A Mother's Day Nightmare in Princeton, Illinois.


A 3-year-old boy was struck by gunfire as police burst into a barricaded room, ending a frightening hostage situation.


Multiple agencies responded to the Hummingbird Mobile Home Park in Princeton, Illinois, on Sunday, May 10th at 2:42 a.m.


The initial call went out as a domestic disturbance but officers discovered much worse. 


42-year-old, Anthony Rodriguez, had barricaded himself in a room armed with a knife. Anthony had taken several people as hostages, including Aurora Almanza and her 3-year-old son. 


Multiple agencies were on the scene, including the Bureau County Sheriff's Office, Illinois State Police and  the Princeton Police Department. 


Authorities attempted to negotiate but ultimately rushed the room when they heard screaming coming from inside. 


Officials have reported that officers fired shots as they entered the room. Anthony Rodriguez was hit and was neutralized. 

Sadly, Aurora Almanza's three-year-old son was also struck by gunfire. 


Both Anthony and the child were rushed to a nearby hospital where the 3-year-old child was sadly pronounced deceased. 


Anthony Rodriguez was treated for his injuries before being booked into the Bureau County Jail. He is facing charges of unlawful restraint, aggravated @ssault and domestic battery. 

Aurora Almanza and Anthony Rodriguez had been in an "on again-off again relationship" for around 5 years. 


Our hearts go out to Aurora Almanza and anyone else who loved the victim. We will share her GoFundMe in comments.
