A woman in her seventh month of pregnancy was shot dead in Philadelphia, United States, while attending a "baby shower", the party for the baby she was carrying.

According to reports from CNN, the 32-year-old was opening the presents when she was hit by bullets to the head and stomach. Rushed to Einstein Medical Center, she was pronounced dead at 9:06 pm. It was impossible for the doctors to save the child.

Now hunt for the killer, whose traces have been lost. City Mayor Jim Kenney announced a $ 50,000 reward for anyone with useful information.

"This news is deeply shocking and heartbreaking. My heart is with the loved ones of the victim," he said, admitting the need to do more to get the gun out of circulation: "There are too many, a record number."
