That man was reportedly in the upstairs area of the home when he heard multiple gunshots, his mom said he heard shots followed by cries for help.
“My son didn’t know anything, he was upstairs watching TV in the bed. He said he just heard some gunshots, he ran downstairs and his friend was screaming, ‘Help! Help!’ He didn’t see anybody,” Cherrie Kemp said.
Kemp has two sons, one who is a high school student in Blue Springs and another who has graduated, she did not specify which one of her sons was in the home at the time. She also said she’s the young girl’s grandmother. She strongly rebuked what happened on Monday afternoon.
