Three teenagers were shot and hospitalized in Topeka, Kansas, this weekend following a dispute over stolen Trump lawn signs, according to local news station WIBW.
Police responded to a report of gunshots on Saturday night and found one of the teens shot several times, WIBW reported. Later that evening, two other teens showed up to the hospital and they, too, had been shot, according to the station.
"We ask for the community's patience as investigators diligently work to determine the facts surrounding this case," Gretchen Spiker, a spokeswoman for the Topeka Police Department, told WBTV. "No arrests have been made as of this writing. Arrests may be forthcoming pending the outcome of the investigation."
Police told the Topeka Capital-Journal on Sunday that a man had shot the teens because he believed they were responsible for his missing signs.

(11,949 posts)Even if you caused the fight.
But if you track the guys down, as apparently happened here, then shoot up their car, you are looking at attempted murder.
And remember, Florida charged and tried Zimmerman. The jury fucked that up.

Not to mention that's hardly the only such incident.
