Father Charged After Child's Death in Virginia

A tragic incident unfolded in Virginia Beach when 36-year-old Dana Plummer allegedly stabbed his children's mother and another victim before abducting his three children. Following the abduction, an AMBER Alert was issued, but it was later canceled after police pursued Plummer's vehicle, which crashed in Maryland. The children, aged 7, 5, and 1, were found at the crash site, but the 1-year-old, Za’riyah Plummer, did not survive her injuries. The two stabbing victims were hospitalized and are in stable condition. Plummer faces multiple charges, including aggravated malicious wounding and parental abduction. Virginia State Police Chief Paul Neudigate expressed condolences, calling it an 'unimaginable tragedy' that underscores the need for intervention in domestic violence situations.
