<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - <p style="display:inline;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Columbia Police Department responded to a report of shots fired Monday, Sept. 2, at 8:48 p.m., on I-70 just east of Stadium Blvd. in the eastbound lanes. <br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Officers found two people in a vehicle, one adult and one minor child, both with non-life threatening gunshot wounds to an extremity. Both were treated on scene and transported to local hospitals for treatment. <br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Statements from an adult in the vehicle which was shot at led to the overnight arrest of Demetris L. Shaw, 18, of Columbia. The suspect was charged with two counts of first-degree assault, one count of endangering the welfare of a child in the second-degree, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /><br /></span><span style="
font-weight: 400;">Two vehicles were involved. The suspect fired shots from their vehicle into another while on the road.
