Police identify 12-year-old shot and killed in Leavenworth

LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) - Leavenworth police say a 12-year-old boy who was shot to death outside a pharmacy was not the intended victim.

Police say Brian Henderson Jr., of Kansas City, Missouri, was shot Wednesday night near the Kare Pharmacy in Leavenworth. He died at a Kansas City hospital.

Leavenworth Police Chief Pat Kitchens says officers called to the pharmacy didn't find any victims, but were notified later about Henderson's death. Kitchens said it's ``very clear'' that the child was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Two suspects, 25-year-old Darvon Thomas, and a 17-year-old male, have been charged with murder. Investigators are still trying to determine what prompted the shooting.
