A pregnant Detroit woman who police say was kidnapped, set on fire and shot early Saturday has given birth to a baby boy, according to media reports.
NBC station WDIV reported that LaTonya Bowman, 22, gave birth Tuesday morning at a hospital in Royal Oak, Mich.
“She has to be one of the most courageous women I have ever encountered,” Warren Police Deputy Commissioner Louis Galasso said. “She had the will and instinct to live.”
