ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) -- A man who took a baby hostage stabbed the infant during a standoff with police before officers shot and wounded the man in the hip.

The baby was flown to a Salt Lake City hospital Friday night with stab wounds to some internal organs, but was expected to live, St. George police spokesman Craig Harding said Saturday.

Police identified the suspect as Valentin S. Echevarria, and said the child was believed to be his girlfriend's. Officials were not sure if the child was his.

The child's mother ran to a neighbor and called police Friday night, saying she had been stabbed in the hand by a man who still had her baby in her home.

Officers negotiated with the man -- who was in the country illegally -- in Spanish, but he did not drop the knife and continued to threaten the child.

When officers saw Echevarria stab the baby, they tried to subdue him with the beanbag rounds, then bullets, Harding said.

"It stopped him from doing what he was doing and we were able to grab the child and rush it to medical services," Harding said.

An officer grabbed the 6- to 7-month-old boy and ran him to a waiting ambulance, Harding said.

Echevarria, 28, had been deported recently, Harding said. He was treated and released for a gunshot wound to the hip, then taken to a jail and held on charges of aggravated attempted murder and aggravated kidnapping, Harding said.

The sad thing is he is charged with "aggrevated attempt to murder" or whatever you said. He'll end up with a few years in prison, or maybe even less, then released back into the public with proper citizenship - or he'll be turned back over to his former country where he'll be let free and he'll wander back into the US to do the same thing again.

that is the exact problem he'll get a couple of years at most and then he'll be deported and he'll get back into in the u.s because the country finds it too difficult to secure its borders. him being a mexican isn't even the issue but if i saw this guy.....

What a jerk. Some bastards have no decency. I hope he felt proud of himself and like a big man because of what he did to a helpless child smaller than him.

This is just an example of a frighting trend happening in our country...it starts with a young woman having a baby minus the father and then when she does begin to date her boyfriend abuses her child..I know not all men do there are some shinning examples but here in Colorado we had 6 cases of that nature in the last eighteen months..it makes me want to cry, the child is always the innocent victim.
