Spanish doctors cared yesterday for a new-born boy delivered by emergency workers after a deranged gunman shot and killed his expectant mother in a church, officials said.

A medical worker said she decided “in just seconds” to deliver the baby inside the Mad-rid church by emergency caesarian after failing to save the life of the 36-year-old mother.

The team had to resuscitate the boy because his heart had stopped but it was too early to know whether he had suffered any brain damage, she added.
