Michigan man arrested after allegedly trying to kill ex-girlfriend, unborn child

Two men have been arrested for attempting to kill a pregnant woman and her unborn child by setting her on fire and shooting her. One of the men was the father of the unborn child. The woman, who was able to escape, was 9 months pregnant at the time of the attack and recently gave birth. An apparent motive in the attack was the woman's pregnancy.

The suspect then drove her around in her Saturn Vue for about ten minutes before stopping in an alley in Detroit. That was near I94 and I75.

Then the man said two things.

"He said 'you know why this is happening' and then he asked her about how far along she was," says Commissioner Green.

The woman, who is nine months pregnant, says she felt liquid poured on her, then heard a match strike and then she was on fire.....

Police say the possible motive for the attack is the boyfriend not wanting another child.
