Jessica Arrendale, a 33 year old lady, was severely abused and shot in the head by her boyfriend, earlier a Marine and Iraqi vet Antoine Davis, 30 years old. But till the end, she managed to hide Cobie, six months old baby from death.

Arrendale's mother, Teresa Ionniello, confirmed that Jessica was never able to escape from Davies, according to Daily Mail.

Last Saturday night they had both gone out for dinner. He got drunk and began to ill-treat her after they returned home. Running after her up the stairs of her three-story home in Oakdale Bluffs subdivision near midnight, he aimed to abuse her. Arrendale picked up a baseball bat to protect herself, but the ex-serviceman just hit her repeatedly with the bat, Arrendale's mother, Teresa Ionniello explained.

Arrendale ran into the bathroom and locked herself inside, but Davis grabbed a rifle, kicked open the door and aimed at her head. He shot her in her head immediately. Her mother added: "He shot her and they (police) don't know how she was able to twist her body and fall literally in the opposite direction." But instead of collapsing onto the ground, she fell over the toilet. Her baby fell into the water-filled bowl of the toilet. As her body covered Cobie, police feel that the baby was out of sight from her father. He went to the nearest room---baby Cobie's---and shot his head.

On Sunday morning, cops came to her home in Smyrna, after getting a call that there was someone in the house with a gun. The cops as well as the SWAT team had not come into the building about 13 hours after the killing as well as the suicide. Instead, they evacuated people in nearby homes and tried to get in.

Cobie was still in the toilet, with her mother's body covering her, until the officers finally entered and found her. One of the officers quickly dried and warmed Cobie and then ran to an ambulance to take her to a hospital and examine her for hypothermia.

Meanwhile, Davis's two daughters from his earlier marriage, aged 9 and 10, were also present. Their mother, Tamaira Chesley, said that one of her daughters stared at her for long before she asked him, "Daddy, what are you doing?" She then heard him running upstairs with a gun and then heard a gunshot. Chesley confirmed that he was in depression, due to a "custody battle" over Cobie. She adds that he was a "dedicated marine" and wrote her love letters from the Iraqi war zones. He was good at heart, she added to FOX 5.
