HOUSTON—A woman has been charged for shooting a mother outside a Woodland-area pediatric center and kidnapping her baby Tuesday night.

Verna McClain, 30, has been charged with capital murder. She was in custody Wednesday morning. Her relationship to the family, if any, has not been identified.

Montgomery County deputies say that McClain got out of an ice-blue, four-door Lexus around 3:40 p.m. and shot the victim, Kala Golden, about seven times. She then fled with the baby.

An Amber Alert was issued for 3-day-old Keegan Schuchardt, who was found by DPS troopers around 8:15 p.m. at a residence off of FM 1960, where the parents of the defendant live.

the "JOKES" are in general DISGUST for VIGILANTE GUN LAWS Skittles Apr 2012 #8

It will be interesting to see if you post the same comment if this happens to a DUer. nt Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #16

Well, the killer was poor and black and the victim was white and from a nice suburb HotRodTuna Apr 2012 #18

Yea, real funny. Some on here must be transplanted fox posters. expatriate2mex Apr 2012 #21

My information was from the Houston Chronicle HotRodTuna Apr 2012 #25

Try rereading my post. I was agreeing with you. expatriate2mex Apr 2012 #26

I read where she's an rn in ca also, maybe she just moved there? nt expatriate2mex Apr 2012 #33

I read an article that states she's an LVN/LPN which is not a RN Seedersandleechers Apr 2012 #52

I've read it both ways. I kind of thought she might be a rn in one state and lpn in another? CA/TX expatriate2mex Apr 2012 #54

That's possible Seedersandleechers Apr 2012 #55

where did you get that information about the shooter maddezmom Apr 2012 #28

not sure about the socioeconomic status, but pictures of the victim and assailant are available n;t Bacchus4.0 Apr 2012 #29

Here are pic's in this article, as the other person said not sure about the economic status. expatriate2mex Apr 2012 #32

I live here so I've seen the pics on the morning news maddezmom Apr 2012 #34

the race of the baby certainly COULD have something to do with it Bacchus4.0 Apr 2012 #36

Yes, or if she did not want to kill a black person for their baby. nt expatriate2mex Apr 2012 #38

from the reports this mother and child were in the wrong place at the wrong time maddezmom Apr 2012 #40

You are not sure what pictures have to do with the case? expatriate2mex Apr 2012 #37

my point is, you can't tell if someone is poor or rich based on photos maddezmom Apr 2012 #41

Ah, I thought you meant the photos in general. expatriate2mex Apr 2012 #47

I live in the neighborhood where this happened and you have the demographics a bit wrong. ScreamingMeemie Apr 2012 #39

As you say, with a loded gun she probably went into it prepared to kill a mother for her child. expatriate2mex Apr 2012 #48
