Eric Bratton, pictured above, is charged with first-degree aggravated assault, second-degree aggravated assault and two counts of armed criminal action for the Saturday-afternoon shooting at the Independence Center shopping mall.
Court records say Bratton, 24, and the male shooting victims got into an altercation after Bratton made a comment about the female shooting victim's butt. The male victim and Bratton got into a fight, which was broken up. Bratton then allegedly threatened to "shoot your bitch ass in the leg then shoot you in the head." The male turned around and saw Bratton pull a semiautomatic handgun from his waistband.
Court records say the male victim was shot in the leg, and Bratton allegedly tried to shoot him in the head but "narrowly missed."
According to court documents, Bratton told police that he got into a fight with a man at the mall and shot him with a .45-caliber handgun.
Bratton is being held on $500,000 bond.

Notice, its mainly these Young PUNK Low Life Ghetto Degenerate Thugs under 25 that cause all these problems !!! Its all of them, that listen to that Degenerate RAP & HIP HOP Crap they think is Music, NO TALENTED ( Can't play a Real Musical Instrument) so called music , that Glorifys and Glamourizes Guns - Drugs- Sex & Murder & Rape, this is what these Brainless young Degenerate Black Punks listen to and starts Fueling their minds for this kind of Mentality, add on to it the DOPE & Drugs and Booze their on' and their sick twisted morbid Mentality of how they percieve life, and if anybody were to Question them, they always lay Blame on somebody else, its their Fault their this way, they never take responsibility for themselves and never will !! I lived in around this city for 50 years , seen all this come to light decades before in the 1980's with all the low life degenerate GANG Mentality and they were always blaming something or somebody else for being high on DRUGS & DOPE and why their famalies raised them this way, its been "Excuse after Excuse", blame anything and everything as to why they are the way they are , but NEVER does anybody hear them take responsibility for themselves and why they need to be in a Stupid Ignorant Sissy Fag, Gang that believes in Shooting & Killing their way to Fame, even shooting & killing innocent bystanders, children & Elderly even. These Degenerate Punks from the HOOD who dress with their pants down to their knees and Walk like they have a corn cob stuck up their Black Buts, because their hiding weapons in their Silly looking Clown Pants is pathetic ! These young Black males under 25 are pathetic to their own Race the way they dress, like they crawled out of a Trash Dumpster, throw in the way they Speak, act, dress, and their Mentality, and its no wonder they can't get a job doing something productive, not to mention their on Dope & drugs or selling dope & drugs, and / or have Criminal records, can't pass a drug Test !!! Tuesdays HI-Spped 100+ mph car chase is just a Prime Example as they raced from the hood of kansas city Missouri to the Hood of Kansas City Kansas endangering the lives of hundreds of people as well as the many many cops chasing them. The time has come to cut off these types from anything, NOT let them into stores, restraunts, schools, any public place ever - if they are convicted of a Crime their bonds should be very high if their under 25 period. These Degenerate Punk Gangsters or they refer to themselves in their native Ghetto Slang Gangsta,, should be dealth with severly and with swift harsh extreme punishment to the fullest - NO MORE should any community put up with or Tolerate such Ridlicious outlandish Absurd behavior by these young uneducated worthless brainless Drug Addicted Black Gang Bangers - enough is Enough- they Destroy their communities, surrounding communities and entire cities ! They also are Destroying everything that the older Black, african Americans from previous generations have strived for !!!
He made a comment about his victim's race (“You heard me white boy! You don’t mess with me!”) and then tried to kill him. Sounds like a hate crime to me. Turn it around. A white guy says, "You heard me black boy! You don’t mess with me!” and then attempts to shoot him in the head. HATE CRIME!
To Ajaxx,
It"s probably because he's too stupid to form a rational thought of his own. It doesn't matter what the charge is he get's convicted of, he'll end up staying in prison for the rest of his life anyway.....it's where all his friends and family are. Prison is the Ghetto Facebook!
I wonder why Bratton isn't being charged with attempted murder and a hate crime? Oh I get it, liberals keep saying that only white people are capable of hate and it's impossible for blacks to be racist.
You can trust a chronics opinion more than you can a Bircher's!
I am neither caucasion or black, and you people with your racist comments are despicable. I think it is funny how the white race wanted blacks here as slaves so badly and it has all turned around for the worse. Talk about a backfire. To be truthful, if it weren't for the greedy european white folks in the first place, this land, America, would still belong to the natives and mexicans. I'm not mexican either. I do come from an island where most americans haven't got a clue geographically of where it is, and at the same time it was the american government who came in and brought their socialism with them. So I am not here by choice either but make the most of it. This country has its priorities all wrong. Most other countries say americans are stupid, and this is true because of majority are ignorant to what really matters in life, in the community, in this nation. STUPID AMERICANS!
Yeah Keith, the use of statistics is just "trickery". The old slave term. Statistics are statistics. Blacks are, in general, a drain on society and it is time to cut them off! Either start fucking producing for society or get the fuck out of the country. I think we should pay welfare people to move to another country (preferably with an ocean between), that would make them someone else's problem. Having all these blacks in this country from slavery and backfired on the rest of us.
"in fact, KC will continue to fall into archaic ruins... while larger, MORE DIVERSE cities continue to grow and expand with ALL races working together..."
Yes Detroit for example.
The parts of cities populated by whites grow and expand, the parts populated by blacks turn into archaic ruins.
white people do this...black people do that. lol
Good ol Kansas City... a bunch of 19th century hicks still caught up on race.
KC will never catch up with modern, technologically advanced cities...
in fact, KC will continue to fall into archaic ruins... while larger, MORE DIVERSE cities continue to grow and expand with ALL races working together...
oh, and if you want REAL crime statistics by "race" just view this FBI link :
http://www2.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2009/data/table_43.html
White people don't report crimes just like Black people don't either. Some of you clearly don't know what happens in your surroundings. Like I said it has nothing to do with race it's how parents raise their kids. I grew up in a city with a mixture of all races and have seen each one do the dumbest things on earth. race doesn't matter the people who raise these kids are the problem.
To the poster who wanted to post statistics..I care less about them. Statistics aren't 100% honest nor accurate. White people perform more abductions and sex act then any in the KC metro area. Just like black people kill more people in the KC metro area.
The point is no matter what race a person is, it still comes down to that parent at home who didn't care enough to steer their kid away from the stupidity our society promotes as cool, good, swag, etc. I'm saying this as a parent of 2 young boys who are mixed black and white. I wouldn't let my kids even begin to go down that path. This dude might be 24 years old but clearly his parents didn't teach him enough so that he wouldn't have put himself and kids in a position that they were in. You people clearly show how ignorant you are on a computer instead of being realistic. Shame..and some how you think you're better than a black person? You're doing nothing but showing your ignorance.
This will make for a great track on Bratton's upcoming album, F$&* Snitches, Never Back Down.
Here's an interesting tidbit on child abuse numbers between the two races made from info taken from a government website.
Sources:
http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/pubs/ncands96/table25.htm
White total child abuse per 100,000: 139,480/2265.63 = 61.6
Black total child abuse per 100,000: 78,339/353.92 = 221.4
Now let's divide the smaller White rate into the larger black rate to get a comparison: 221.4/61.6 = 3.6
***Blacks are 3.6 times MORE LIKELY to abuse their children then Whites.***
White sexual child abuse per 100,000 (226,563,000/100,000 = 2265.63): 17,978/2265.63 = 7.94
Black sexual child abuse per 100,000 (35,392,000/100,000 = 353.92): 5399/353.92 = 15.25
Now let's divide the smaller White rate into the larger black rate to get a comparison: 15.25/7.94 = 1.9
***Blacks are 1.9 times MORE LIKELY to sexually abuse their children than Whites.***
"Funny how people call the black community a joke but the white community kidnap their own and force them to perform sex acts and become sex slaves."<----let's see some evidence to support this claim. Has it happened? Yes. But at what percentage? While on the subject of making racially charged comments let"s look at some facts:
Blacks are four times more likely than Whites to kill their children
http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/homicide/children.cfm#kidsrts
28% of black males go to jail, vs. 4.4% of White males
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/crimoff.htm
68.7% of blacks are born out of wedlock
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/pdf/nvsr50_05tb19.pdf [archived]
62% of ALL black births are paid for by the US government
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/datawh/statab/pubd/2319_69.htm [archived]
Blacks are responsible for 40.8% of all domestic violence cases, despite being only 13% of the population.
See page 28:
http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/vi.pdf
Though only 12% of the population, blacks take 38.3% of the total of all welfare payments. Whites are 72% of the population, and take 30.5% of the total.

Though only 12% of the population, blacks take 38% of taxpayer-subsidized housing

Just take the kid out back, one bullet in the head...problem solved...keep doing that eventually you will clear out all these morons
"Regardless of race this was just a situation where somebody took a beat down and had too much pride to accept defeat." What you really mean is that he was too stupid to walk away. That's because few blacks have any concept of consequence. And the difference between whites and blacks on ANY crime is that whites report it, blacks seldom do.
Funny how people call the black community a joke but the white community kidnap their own and force them to perform sex acts and become sex slaves.
Regardless of race this was just a situation where somebody took a beat down and had too much pride to accept defeat.
....it's not his fault, he's a victim of harsh and racist marijuana laws......or so I've heard thats the primary reason for shootings and murders in KC ....if only Johnny Cochran was here to defend him! Can I trust a chronic's opinion?
Oh, Christ. I was cracking a joke in response to Wink's "ban baggy pants and rap." I make a lame ass joke about banning hand guns and everyone gets pissed. Why are hand guns such a sacred fucking cow?
Hey now, everyone. Let's not stereotype! It's politically incorrect to stereotype "these people", but they do it to themselves. I wish they would quit breeding. Ban the sale of handguns? you're an idiot. Do you honestly think that ghetto superstar obtained this handgun legally anyway? Probably got it from one of his dawgs. As the saying goes, if we outlaw firearms, then only outlaws will have firearms. The problem is, people are unarmed. Do you think these city thugs would rob, rape, and kill as much as they do if everyone were to arm themselves. Be an American, not a victim.
I am curious to know if there is a reason there is no charge for discharging a weapon in a public place. My children were innocently riding the carosel when this guy decides start shooting!!! The sounds of those gunshots are forever in my memory. Is there not a charge for terrorizing a mall full of people???
Andrew, guns don't kill people, people kill people. The black community is a fucking joke! If we could sterilize the the east side, they all would kill each other within 20 years. Stop fucking breeding and kill yourselves east siders!
It's funny....when I first heard of this story, the picture above is exactly how I picture the perpetrator.
You could also ban the sale of hand guns and the odds of getting shot would decrease...but that would infringe on 'merica's freedoms.
Ban the sale of baggy pants and rap cd's, and you've just decreased the odds of a thug like this turd shopping in your local mall by a thousand percent.
young thugs preparing to shut down another mall? Indian Springs; Bannister; Blue Ridge... The only defunct mall not shut down because of results of gang violence is Antioch. It was failing on its own, unfortunately.
