Pregnant Woman Shot, Killed in Queens, Baby Dies Upon Delivery: Police

Police say a pregnant 27-year-old woman was shot to death in Queens, and her baby was delivered but soon died. 

The NYPD says Anastasia Massey was shot after dropping her children off at school Wednesday morning. She died at Elmhurst Hospital. 

Her husband had remained home with another child. He told police he heard a bang outside their door at around 8:30 a.m. He said opened it to find his wife shot in the chest and arm.

Massey was about six months pregnant. The newborn died soon after being delivered, hospital officials said. 

Police Commissioner William Bratton said Thursday that police believe it was a domestic dispute and are searching for an uncle.
