Nebraska girl, 16, throws newborn out window to its death
A 16-year-old Nebraska girl killed her prematurely born baby early Friday by throwing the infant out a second-floor window minutes after going into labor, authorities said.
Cops and emergency personnel responded to an Omaha apartment complex around 4 a.m. after receiving multiple calls about an infant tossed from a window, police said in a statement.
Once they arrived, emergency responders discovered an adult female performing CPR on a lifeless infant in the apartment complex parking lot. The baby was rushed into an ambulance, but died on the way to an area hospital. The disheveled would-be mother was also taken to the hospital.
Interviews with the teen revealed that she had been asleep and alone in her room when she unexpectedly went into labor. In a fit of panic, the girl threw the infant out of her window before telling her mother what had happened.

No charges had been filed against the teenager early Saturday and cops said autopsy results were not expected for several days.
Anthony Goode, 21, lives in the apartment complex and awoke to the sound of screaming Friday morning. When he looked out, he saw two women and a medic cradling a baby and walking towards an ambulance.
“I saw one (of the women) saying ‘my baby, my baby,’ ” Goode told the Omaha Herald-World. “It was terrifying.”
