Calgary's First Murder of 2008 - No First Baby?

The first week of the year and already the news is full of serious crime stories.

On New Year's Day, an Altadore homeowner found a dead man on her lawn, according to local media reports. Calgary police identified the man and yesterday said that 33 year old Mohamed Aman died of stab wounds in a homicide.

On New Year's Eve, there was a murder, apparently gang-related.

I don't remember hearing one word about the New Year's Baby. When did we switch our focus from welcoming life into this world, to watching - appalled - as it is hastened out?
