A Kansas City father died while trying to save a friend’s two-year-old great-grandson from gunfire. The shots came from several men walking down the street who aimed fire at a picnic crowd that was gathered next door.

Lamar Montez Sharp, 31, was shot twice in the head, three times total.  “He just ran towards the baby, and that’s when he was shot,” Sharp’s mother Charlotte Barner told Fox4KC.
