Teenager And Suspect Injured in Pleasant Hill Shooting Released from Hospitals

A teenager injured in a shooting last week has been released from a Kansas City-area hospital and continues to recover at home. The Pleasant Hill Police Department said 16-year-old Ayden was injured in the shooting while working at the Pleasant Hill grocery store where the crime happened.

Investigators said the man suspected in the shooting was also released from a hospital yesterday. Investigators said he turned the gun on himself as people tried to detain him. Allen T. Price is held in the Cass County Jail without bond. He is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday morning.

Price is charged with first-degree murder and harassment in connection with the shooting. Investigators identified 45-year-old Amy Coon of Strasburg as the woman killed in the shooting.
