| 2023-06-23 |
| [NYP] A Missouri woman chased down her sister’s stolen car and allegedly shot two people inside after the vehicle crashed and caught fire, authorities said Thursday. Francesca Jones, 32, was driving with three children in a St. Louis suburb when her sister’s Dodge Challenger — which had been stolen a day earlier — passed by her on the road, police said, according to reports. Jones hightailed after the Challenger, which collided with a truck at an intersection and veered off the road before catching fire, the Kansas City Star reported, citing a Thursday news release from police. As the Dodge burned, Jones allegedly got out of her car and shot two occupants of the stolen ride, with one of them firing back at her, authorities said. Jones told investigators she wanted to force the car to stop by ramming into it, authorities said. It’s unclear what condition the two gunshot victims are in. It’s also unclear what the relationship is between the children and Jones. Jones was arrested at the site of the crash where officers found her gun in the trunk of her car, KSDK reported. Jones is facing three counts each of assault, armed criminal action and endangering the welfare of a child, police said. Her bond was set at $750,000, the station reported. |

| #3 I would bet that we still don't know what actually happened and the stolen car story is just a small part of what went on. |
