INDPENDENCE MO
A 19-year-old Independence resident believed to have fired a shotgun in a dispute Saturday afternoon just outside the Target store in Independence was to appear in Jackson County Circuit Court late this morning, according to Tom Gentry, Independence police spokesman.
The teen, whose name was not released, allegedly fired a shotgun, wounding two 18-year-old Kansas City men. Both victims were taken to a hospital Saturday with non-life threatening injuries, Gentry said.
Independence Police Captain Ken Jarnagin said the events leading to the shooting near the Bolger Square shopping center are still under investigation. However, the dispute seems to have begun perhaps as long as two months ago and seemed to have been carried from Kansas City to Independence, Jarnagin said.
"There's still a lot of things we're trying to figure out," he said.
The teen was apprehended near the scene of the shooting and taken into custody shortly after the incident, which occurred about 12:15 p.m.
The victims went to a nearby optometry building, where they asked employees to call police. Those who were injured drove a red SUV, which had many bullet holes.
Kirk Bayne of Independence said he and his wife were inside the Target shopping when they heard someone say there had been a shooting outside. When Bayne and his wife got into the parking lot, they discovered their parked car had been hit by the gunfire. It had bullet holes and the rear window has been shot out.
"If only my car could talk," Bayne joked.
Marty Schmuhl, who lives behind the Target store, said he heard no shots, but followed a police vehicle into the Target store while officers inside were in pursuit of the suspects. "There was like a flurry of activity out here," Schmuhl said. "Isn't that something," he said, shaking his head. "That this would happen in bright daylight in Independence.
