DESCRIPTION
This proposal would establish the crime of leaving the scene of a shooting
without notifying law enforcement. A person commits this crime if he: 1)
discharges a firearm or projectile weapon, as defined in Section 571.010,
RSMo; 2) causes injury or death to another; and 3) leaves the place of the
shooting without giving identifying information to a police officer. A
person may leave the scene of a shooting to obtain medical assistance or to
contact a police officer, so long as he returns to the scene.
All active and reserve peace officers certified under the provisions of
chapter 590 RSMo, would be given authority to investigate shootings.
Conservation agents would be authorized to investigate hunting related
shootings under this act. Leaving the scene of a shooting would be a Class A
misdemeanor for a first offense, and a class D felony for a second or
subsequent offense.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
