KANSAS CITY, MO. (KCTV) – We learn new details about a shooting during a golf golf tournament over the weekend in which a man was in hospital with critical injuries.
Jackson County Attorney’s Office has charged 21-year-old Osman Igal with assault and armed criminal action.
On the first day of the Kansas City Flying Disc challenge on Saturday, police were called to one of the tournament venues, Kessler Park, to shoot.
Police say the victim and three witnesses were playing in the tournament when the suspect, identified as 21-year-old Osman Igal, who is unknown to the group, pointed a gun and started firing, hitting one of the players.
Tournament officials say the hit player is Jake Riley.
Riley was taken to the hospital, where he remained for the past two days.
According to a GoFundMe page launched by his fiancé, doctors found holes in his lower abdomen as well as a small fracture in his pelvis.
We are told that Riley underwent surgery today and although he is expected to survive, there is a difficult road ahead.
That’s why the disc golf community is working hard to show support and embrace one of its own.
A local disc golf group called The KC Disc Divas played its usual game in the league on Monday night, but this time decided to sell snacks to raise money and help Riley.
“Disc golfers are the best. Of course, not everyone loves each other all the time, but our community really tries not to unite, especially in difficult times, “said Crispian Paul of KC Disc Golf Divas.
