Tammy Skinner
Tammy Skinner, 22, was arrested this afternoon and charged with inducing an abortion, using a firearm in the commission of a felony and filing a false police report.
As of 2:30 p.m., Skinner was still being processed at the Suffolk police station.
Skinner called police about 4 a.m. last Thursday from a cell phone and said she had been shot. Emergency personnel located her at a car dealership on North Main Street and took her to the hospital. Her full-term baby girl died.
Skinner, a single mother of two other children, told police she didn't know where she was when she was shot or who shot her, according to court documents. She did say that she had been at a friend's house about an hour before she called police.
Authorities towed Skinner's car, which had a red stain on the seat, from the Barton Ford dealership.
Skinner's father, Larry, said his daughter has been suffering from depression for some time.

Maybe the cure for cancer(and so many other issues)are
not resolved- because,we aborted that baby (that was chosen by GOD)
to cure the world! I cant see how any one can have abortion, a pregnant
woman or girl- must be in a very low mental state to kill like this (BUT I DONT JUDGE)- I have never walked in their shoes) for government has not given those's lost girls enough education and help to not be so lost! Politically, we need better sex education to our teens and Preteens.
We need better Child care voucher & assistance for pregnant girls not to feel so trapped. Untill we fix those reasons WHY peopple get abortions- people will still seek them out- legal or not!
I do believe when I write that as long as it's from my inner heart's voice, then it will be good mentality. If not for anyone else, for me~ sounds you write the same way too- from the heart. Best of luck, Cheryl~http://journals.aol.com/cste6
