Man arrested in Shawnee Wal-Mart attack involving Good Samaritans
Kansas City Star ^ | 9/13/17 | Matt Campbell

A suspect was arrested and charged Tuesday in the Sunday attack at a Shawnee Wal-Mart in which two Good Samaritans intervened. Shawnee police said 27-year-old Arthur Fred Wyatt III of Overland Park was charged in Johnson County District Court with attempted first-degree murder, attempted aggravated kidnapping and attempted aggravated robbery. A 39-year-old Kansas City, Kan., woman who had been shopping at the Wal-Mart at Shawnee Mission Parkway and Maurer Road was attacked in the parking lot about 1:30 p.m. Sunday. Two men approached her while she was putting her child in a safety seat, police said. She was struck in the head. A Good Samaritan tried to intervene, and one of the attackers shot him. A second Good Samaritan then shot one of the attackers, killing him. The other attacker escaped on foot. A man who fit that person’s description was detained but later released. Wyatt was arrested Tuesday. Shawnee police spokesman Maj. Dan Tennis said he could not discuss details of the arrest because the case was now in the hands of the district attorney. The Good Samaritan who was shot, a 33-year-old Kansas City man, remained in serious condition in a hospital Tuesday morning. The woman who was attacked was released from a hospital on Monday. The attacker who was killed was identified Monday as 28-year-old John W. Simmons III of Kansas City. Two Good Samaritans came to the aid of a woman who was being attacked in a Shawnee Wal-Mart parking lot on Sunday afternoon. Police describe what took place during the attempted robbery that ended with one attacker dead and the woman and one Good Samaritan in the hospital. The second Good Samaritan, a 36-year-old De Soto man, was interviewed by police and released.

Video at link. The Nuffin brothers, Dindhu and Dinsee were just out trying to turn their lives around. And a veteran and good Samaritan with a gun had to ruin it for them (do I really need a sarc tag here?)

I'll admit it. I was surprised by the name.

John Wesley Simmons III was shot in a Shawnee Walmart parking lot Sunday. Police said he and another man had attacked a woman and shot a man who had come to her aid. His sister, Kayla Blackmon, organized a vigil to remember her brother. Police came to the scene to keep some angry protesters away. “I know he did wrong,” Blackmon said. “That wasn’t in his heart. It doesn’t justify the person that he is. He has a pure heart that was currently hurting.” He had good in his heart. Hope he was an organ donor then.

If said dead person had a “pure heart” he would not have attacked a woman in the parking lot. Pure hearts do not pull that sort of nonsense.

This happened a year ago, in 2016.

Rats! I wish people wouldn’t post old stories or give a heads up that they are old stories. I sent this to my son and he will give me grief for sending old stuff. I know, maybe I should check the date first, right?

The accomplice, Wyatt, plead guilty to attempted murder and other charges last month. Sentencing in November.

You may regain your original premise, yet...

Well, yes, the pictures match my preconceptions, but the fact that there were enough daddies involved to get to a III, and the names themselves, are the surprise.

Kansas City is a cesspit.

AT the time this attack took place, there was a 'rash' of drive bys...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSmp3fD9Dak this is an attack in broad daylight on a busy street. Dashcam video.

Worth thinking about now because it is likely coming to your town - sooner rather than later....

Arthur Fred Wyatt III and John W. Simmons III. Sounds like board members of a fortune 500 company!

My bet is those are AKAs! Any takers?

I would have done the same with my daughter if she hadn’t graduated from college last May. I would have sent on old article about events in the wrong state. She went to school in Shawnee, OK. I didn’t notice this was KS until I read the comments.

One man is dead, another shot and a mother and her child are safe after two Good Samaritans came to her aid during an attack at a Wal-Mart parking lot Sunday afternoon in Shawnee, Kansas.

Authorities say two men attacked the 39-year-old woman as she put her infant in a baby seat inside her car and gunfire erupted when two passersby confronted the attackers,
