KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Prosecutors charged a man Sunday in connection with the shooting of a four-year-old boy.
Ellery Beals is charged in Jackson County Court with unlawful use of a weapon, assault and two counts of armed criminal action.
Investigators say two people were shooting at each other at the BP Gas Station near the 3400 block of Red Bridge Road.
Craig Brady was nearby.
"I went in there and then all of a sudden that guy and girl in that Honda Odyssey van pulled in. Next thing I know I see the guy running across the front door and I heard shots,” said Brady.
During that shooting, a stray bullet entered the back of a home and injured a 4-year-old boy.
The boy's grandmother found him, saw his injury and rushed him to the hospital.
His injuries are non-life-threatening.
“First there were shots, and then they stopped for a second... and then there was more shots and I saw them,” said Brady.
Police are looking for a second suspect.
