Police: Dad admitted throwing baby off bridge, then jumping

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Police say a Connecticut man admitted fatally throwing his infant son from a bridge then jumping into the river below.

Tony Moreno was charged with murder Wednesday in the death of 7-month-old Aaden Moreno. The boy's body was pulled from the Connecticut River on Tuesday night.

Moreno was arraigned at Hartford Hospital, where he's been treated since firefighters rescued him Sunday night. His bail was set at $2 million.

Gov. Dannel Malloy and other officials attended a community vigil for the baby in Middletown last night. People lit candles outside the South Green gazebo, and left stuffed animals and balloons. The Middletown Press reports Aaden's aunt read a letter written by his mother that read she'd lost her son but ``gained a guardian angel.''
