ST. LOUIS聽鈥 A father shot three people, including a child, on Monday afternoon after a fight between two groups of kids escalated in south 狐狸视频, multiple witnesses said.聽
A man, a woman, and a 12-year-old boy were all shot in the legs in the incident, just before 2 p.m. at Keokuk Street and Nebraska Avenue in the city's Dutchtown neighborhood.聽
Lakeisha Blanchard, the shooter鈥檚 fiance, said the kids had argued previously, and the shooter's daughter was punched on Monday by a boy.聽
The father of the boy and Blanchard's fiance both came outside, and Blanchard said she tried unsuccessfully to calm them both down.
"You're making the situation worse and are acting like kids," she recalled saying.
Blanchard's fiance, whom the Post-Dispatch is not naming because he has not been charged, eventually opened fire, she said. According to evidence markers at the scene, the shooting took place across about 50 yards, and it left behind about 10 shell casings.聽
