       Grandma accused of killing Grandbaby

       CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago police are investigating the death of a
       7-month-old girl whose body was found Monday morning in a Little
       Village apartment.
       Police say the baby's throat was cut with a circular power saw,
       apparently because she wouldn't stop crying. Sources told ABC7
       the baby girl's name is Rose Herrera.
       Police say charges are pending against a 52-year-old woman, who
       sources identified as the baby's grandmother. Police said she is
       in custody at Mt. Sinai Hospital after she tried to kill
       herself.
       "When I came out I heard a young lady in front of the door, and
       she was crying, 'When am I going to see my mom?' or something
       like that. And I think they told her to go inside because she
       was in shock," said Virginia Otero, a neighbor.
       Chicago police responded to the home in the 2800-block of S.
       Avers shortly before 10 a.m. They spent several hours on the
       scene collecting evidence. Neighbors say a couple lived there
       with two grown daughters, each of whom had a young child.
       "The daughter with the baby just graduated from college to be a
       teacher," said a woman who has known the family for years.
       "They're good people."
       DCFS said it has not had prior contact with the family, and
       neighbors say there were no problems that any of them knew of.
       "I can't, I can't believe it. I knew them. I knew them real
       good. We would help out each other," said Raul Chavez, a
       neighbor.
       Police said both the baby and the woman were found by another
       relative.
       The Associated Press contributed to this report.
