Two Charged In Independence-MO Weekend Shooting



I
t was a story reported first here at CSW (and hardly anywhere else)- a shooting early last Saturday morning that left a 19-year-old female and a 15-year-old boy injured in a northeastern Independence apartment complex (overnight weekend news coverage is an afterthought locally you see).



The (Independence-MO-Blue Springs-Grain Valley) EXAMINER reports that 2 suspects are in custody regarding this incident:


Kenneth W. Porchia of Independence- and Clarence E. Brown of Kansas City-MO.. Both were charged by the Jackson County prosecutor with two counts each of first-degree assault and armed criminal action.

All charges are felonies.
