A fight Saturday at the Midwest Regional Black Family Reunion led to a shooting that sent a bystander to the hospital.
Jaton O'Neal, 26, was in surgery at University Hospital after the shooting. She was shot in the chest, just below her heart, District 1 police commander Capt. James Whalensaid. O'Neal had nothing to do with two groups of males who were converging to fight, he said.
Officers arrested one man, whose name was not released, and found a semiautomatic 9mm pistol, which police said he threw down. O'Neal was shot with a .22-caliber pistol. About a dozen people were arrested throughout the evening, Whalen said, some because they were involved in fights police broke up. Some were charged with disorderly conduct.
