Luke Nozicka
Two men have been charged with second-degree murder after their accomplice was fatally shot during an attempted robbery Wednesday in Independence, according to prosecutors.
Antonio Johnson, 18, and Andre Mays Jr., 19, were charged after they attempted a robbery at a home in the 500 block of South Crescent Avenue that ended when someone fatally shot their accomplice, Elijah Lockhart, according to prosecutors.
The shooting unfolded about 1:55 a.m. as Lockhart and the others tried to force their way into the home, police said. They were confronted by the home’s residents, and several shots were fired after Lockhart pointed a weapon at a man, according to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office. Lockhart was found fatally shot outside the house.
KMBC-TV reported that Lockhart was 17.
Johnson and Mays were also charged with first-degree attempted robbery and armed criminal action. Neither had attorneys listed in court records who could be reached for comment as of Sunday.
Lockhart’s killing marked the fifth homicide this year in Independence, according to data maintained by The Star. The city suffered 13 homicides last year

The key word here is “was”

Amen. When Mama talks, everyone listens. The original reach out and touch someone device.
And this year marks the centennial: 100 years of production and active service. Arguably John Browning’s most successful single design (although picking one “best” is a fool’s choice, with so many to choose from.)
St. John of Browning had many successful designs. The 1911 and Ma Deuce are the most durable.
Icon: The Holy Gospel of St. John Moses Browning 1 In the beginning was the 1911, and the 1911 was THE pistol, and it was good. And behold the Lord said, “Thou shalt not muck with my disciple John’s design for it is good and it workith. For John made the 1911, and lo all of his weapons, from the designs which I, the Lord, gave him upon the mountain.” 2 “And shouldst thou muck with it, and hang all manner of foul implements upon it, and profane its internal parts, thou shalt surely have malfunctions, and in the midst of battle thou shalt surely come to harm.” 3 And as the ages passed men in their ignorance and arrogance didst forget the word of the Lord and began to profane the 1911. The tribe of the gamesman did place recoil spring guides and extended slide releases upon the 1911 and their metal smiths didst tighten the tolerances and alter parts to their liking, their clearness of mind being clouded by lust. 4 Their artisans did hang all manner of foul implements upon the 1911 and did so alter it that it became impractical to purchase. For lo, the artisans didst charge a great tax upon the purchasers of the 1911 so that the lowly field worker could not afford one. And the profaning of the internal parts didst render it unworkable when the dust of the land fell upon it, and these profaners didst try and fit more rounds of ammunition into the magazines than the holy number of seven, appointed for the .45. 5 And lo, they didst install adjustable sights, which are an abomination unto the Lord. For they doth break and lose their zero when thou dost need true aim. And those who have done so will be slain in great numbers by their enemies in the great battle. a 6 And it came to pass that the Lord didst see the abomination wrought by man and didst cause, as he had warned, fearful malfunctions to come upon the abominations and upon the artisans who thought… Read more »

What a fabulous idea—fixed head space and timing. The cure for the only problem with the design. Every time on the range one would not cycle, they were the problem.

Awwwwwww……
