Sisters' Shootout at Smoke Shop

0:00Two Kansas City Sisters, Ashley Mack and Mia Shaw, face three felony charges each after a wild shooting at Lit Smoke Shop on Independence Avenue back. On April 25th, they got hit with armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon, and second degree burglary. Police rolled up around 11.33 a.m. to find bullet holes everywhere and casing scattered outside. The whole thing kicked off when the sister stormed in screaming, got into a fist bite with an employee who tried pushing them out. Video shows Mack polling would look like a gun, so the worker fired back in self-defense, dropping her with shots to the abdomen, pelvis, and thigh. Shaw then allegedly grabbed something and fired into the store, sparking more gunfire from inside. Folks nearby felt the heat, too. A stray bullet smashed a window of a pickup truck carrying three people. Turns out the sisters were banned from several shops along that strip because they had a habit of showing up, causing drama, and calling their brother.

1:00To escalate things. Right now, Mack stable in the hospital under supervision, while Shaw is locked up. Prosecutors say the employees got a solid self-defense claim, and Shaw told cops they were just heading to a job interview when their brother called. About the ban, they went anyway. This case highlights how quick tempers and old beefs can turn deadly in everyday spots like smoke shops. Keep an eye on the courts as it unfolds.
