Speaker 3 (01:50):
We began in Missouri as juvenile officials say a sixteen
year old boy is being charged with a new felony
in connection with the mass shooting that left one person
dead and nearly two dozen others injured at the Kansas
City Chief Super Bowl celebration. We turned to Sydney Sumner
with Crime Online for more.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
According to authorities, during the teenager's arraignment, he was charged
with unlawful use of a weapon to shoot someone. Since
the mass shooting on February fourteenth, he has been detained
on a lesser felony charge of resisting arrest. The new
accusation carries a five to fifteen year prison sentence for
an adult offender. Authorities have announced that a Jackson County
Family Court judge will convene a hearing to decide whether
(02:29):
to try the miner as an adult. A second sixteen
year old is still being detained on a lesser firearms
charge second degree murder, and several firearms offenses have also
been brought against two men by state authorities in relation
to the shootings. Police have reported that the attack occurred
after a group of people confronted another person looking at them.
Following the shooting, three other men from Missouri were accused
(02:50):
of federal offenses pertaining to the unlawful acquisition of firearms
with extended magazines and high powered rifles. Where now learning
from unsealed court documents that at least six in individuals
shot weapons and twelve people displayed firearms during the rally.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
The February fourteenth celebration in downtown Kansas City attracted and
estimated one million atten d's. A law that would mandate
that all firearms be kept in a locked container or
have a mechanical lock that is tamper resistant when not
in use by the owner or another authorized user, has
now been approved by the Rhode Island Senate. Once again
(03:24):
Crime Online Sydney Sumner.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
The measure would classify the improper storage of a handgun
as a civil offense, punishable by a fine of up
to two hundred and fifty dollars for an initial offense
and up to one thousand dollars for a subsequent violation.
A five hundred dollars fine and up to six months
in jail would be imposed for any further infractions. Lawmakers
approved the bill twenty eight Dash seven. Rhode Island Senator
(03:47):
Pamela Lauria, who sponsored the initiative, stated that while respectable
gun owners already practice safety measures, those actions should be
mandatory rather than optional. Drawing on mortality data from the
Centers of Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, a Pew
Research Center analysis published last year indicated that in the
United States, the number of children and teens killed by
gunfire rose by fifty percent between twenty nineteen and twenty
(04:10):
twenty one. Currently, if a firearm is loaded and a
minor uses it to injure someone, the state of Rhode
Island has the authority to find the owner one thousand dollars.
The plan would broaden the definition of who is covered
by the law adults who are legally forbidden from carrying
firearms as well as children, and make it applicable regardless
of whether the gun is loaded. Advocates say that violators
(04:30):
risk up to one thousand dollars in fines and a
year in prison if found guilty of second degree criminal
firearm storage. A charge of first degree criminal firearm storage
results in a maximum sentence of five years in prison
and a fine of five thousand dollars if a prohibited
person or child uses the weapon to injure someone. According
to Melissa Cardon of the Rhode Island Coalition Against Gun Violence,
(04:50):
safe storage rules can assist to lower suicide rates in
addition to fewer mishaps involving children with access to firearms.
Bill opponents contend that the legislation violates law, biting gun owners'
rights to keep in bare arms in their homes for
self defense. Critics say requiring guns to be kept in
a secured container or with a trigger lock might make
it more difficult for them to defend their families and themselves.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Similar laws are already an effect in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (05:16):

High North Dakota, dreams of becoming a professor. The summer
