A 16-year-old teen accused of firing a gun in a mass shooting that occurred as the Kansas City Chiefs rally was ending could be tried as an adult, the Jackson County Family Court announced Tuesday. The teen was previously charged with possessing a gun and resisting arrest on the day of the shooting that killed a beloved Kansas City mother and DJ and injured more than 20 others.
On Tuesday, those charges were amended, and he's now charged with unlawful use of a weapon — a Class B felony — for shooting a person. The court said a certification hearing will be held on April 30 to determine if he should stand trial as an adult. A second 16-year-old is still charged with possessing a gun and resisting arrest. The court ruled those charges don't rise to the level of more serious felony charges, and he won't face certification to be tried as an adult.
