Phoenix police said Thursday Daniel Bryant Gray, 31, was smoking marijuana with a coworker while his son, Jamison, sat dying in a broiling vehicle. He was the 30th child in the U.S. this year to die after being left in a hot car, according to data provided by KidsandCars.org.
Police said Thursday an 8-year-old boy who crashed his mother’s car into a utility pole, killing his 6-year-old sister, likely won’t face criminal charges because of his young age. The pair took the car for a joyride after their mother fell asleep Wednesday night.
Last week, screams of agony could be heard on a 911 tape as a grieving grandfather calmly described how his daughter’s boyfriend had killed her 3-month-old son before committing suicide.

Police identified the shooter in the apparent murder-suicide as Rajneesh Saini, 25, of Tempe.
