COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Colorado Springs police say a woman sought for questioning in a murder case tossed her baby at police and ran.
Police say they saw a bloody butcher knife while investigating a dispute and when they tried to question Ellyzabeth Rainey, she held up her two-month-old baby and told police to take the baby because she was going to run.
An officer caught the child.
According to the Colorado Springs Gazette ( ), Rainey was arrested Wednesday afternoon in the killing of her mother-in-law, Deborah Rainey.
