Kansas City mother charged with shooting, killing her 5-year-old son

A 23-year-old Kansas City woman allegedly fatally shot her 5-year-old son during an argument with her boyfriend early Saturday and then blamed the shooting on an intruder, according to court documents.

Lisa Marie Hall, who had been drinking with her boyfriend, allegedly shot the boy once in the head. The shooting occurred just before 7 a.m. in a home at 415 N. Elmwood Ave.

Prosecutors on Sunday charged Hall with unlawful use of a firearm and endangering the welfare of a child. Prosecutors requested bond be set at $150,000.

The boyfriend told police he and Hall had purchased the handgun on Friday.
