Chris Sanna, 43, of House Springs and his three brothers were at Friday night’s Cardinal game with their mother. It was an early 60th birthday celebration for mom.

The victim’s girlfriend says that the suspect approached her and her boyfriend Chris Sanna while they were walking to the car after a Cardinals game. They were in the 200 block of Walnut. He showed his handgun and stole her Michael Kors purse and it’s contents.

Her boyfriend then reached into his pants to hand over his property to the robber. She says that is when Jones fired two shots from his handgun at her and Sanna. One of those shots struck Sanna in the back, paralyzing him, and causing him to fall to the ground.

She says Kilwa Jones went through Chris Sanna’s pockets while he was paralyzed. He is still paralyzed.
