Man Convicted of Killing Toddler, Wounding 3 Others

NEW YORK (AP)  -- Prosecutors say a man has been convicted of fatally shooting a 3-year-old girl and wounding her grandmother and two other children at a Brooklyn family gathering.

Thirty-eight-year-old General Waiters faces the possibility of life in prison for the May 2006 murder of Tajmere Clark, his girlfriend's niece. Waiters is set to be sentenced June 2.

Prosecutors say Waiters opened fire on his girlfriend's relatives with a .357-caliber handgun.

They say the shooting has left the toddler's grandmother in a coma. Two of Waiters' girlfriend's children were struck in the leg.
