SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Police say three people suspected of shoplifting at a south Springfield Wal-Mart also are suspects in a shooting in central California.
Two people, Billy Littlefield and Peyton Garncia, both of Los Banos, California, are jailed in Greene County after their arrests Tuesday night. A third suspect, Carl Littlefield -- Billy's brother -- has eluded capture.
Police in Los Banos said the three are suspects in the shooting of a 35-year-old man in that city Nov. 26. They face charges of attempted homicide, conspiracy and felon in possession of a firearm.
KYTV reported Springfield police were chasing the three Tuesday at the Wal-Mart when Carl Littlefield fired a shot at them. No one was injured, but customers and employees were moved out of the store for several hours.
