KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Police in Blue Springs distributed a flyer Thursday in hopes it will lead to the arrest of a 24-year-old woman wanted in assault and shooting last month in which a 7-year-old girl was among one of the victims.
Just before midnight on May 20, police allege Samantha J. Thrasher punched and shot a 36-year-old man before also shooting a 7-year-old girl at a hotel in Blue Springs.
The girl was struck once by gunfire and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of injuries that were described as non life-threatening.
Police describe Thrasher as five-feet, four-inches tall, 100 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair.
Thrasher, who is from Kansas City, Kansas, may be driving a light brown 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe
Police caution the public not to try to approach Thrasher and instead call 911 or their local police department.
