Georgia officials have said a one-year-old baby has been shot to death, after authorities issued an amber alert warning the child was in “extreme danger”.

“Baby Jaquari has died. The Newton County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation,” the Georgia Bureau of Investigations said on Sunday morning.
