Arizona Police Rescue Baby After Hostage Standoff Ends in Fire

Officers saved a critically injured infant from a barricaded home where the suspect, the child's father, was later found dead.

Police responded to a hostage situation involving a mother and her baby early Friday morning.
The suspect, identified as Todd Christopher Marchetti, shot the infant multiple times before barricading himself inside the home.
The mother managed to escape and alert nearby construction workers, who called 911.
An hours-long standoff ensued, ending when the house caught fire; Marchetti was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The baby, airlifted to Phoenix Children's Hospital, has undergone multiple surgeries and remains in critical condition.
