A Sedalia man and his estranged wife are in critical condition after police say he shot both of them Tuesday night.
According to the Sedalia Police Department, Harry J. Young, 39, was driving in the 1600 block of South Carr Avenue around 9 p.m. when he saw his wife, Kellie M. Young, 24, sitting in the drivers seat of a vehicle with an unidentified man and two children, both reported to be under the age of 5. Reports indicate that one of the children was Harry Youngs.
Witnesses report Young stopped his car, turned around and drove back to (Kellies) vehicle, said Cmdr. David Woolery.
He then got out of the car and fired a gun into her car, hitting her arm and upper torso. Young then tried to shoot the male victim in the car, but he was able to flee the scene on foot.
Woolery said that after the man fled, Harry Young then returned to his vehicle and was attempting to drive away when he was stopped by a Sedalia police officer.
As the officer was giving him verbal commands, Young shot himself in the head, Woolery said.
Harry and Kellie Young were both taken by helicopter to University Hospital in Columbia for their injuries. The two children in the car were unharmed and placed in the care of family members.
Young has been charged with assault and armed criminal action. His bond has been set at $250,000.
