$2.5 Million Bond Set For Alleged Shooters Of 6-Year-Old

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Bond was set Wednesday at $2.5 million for two of the three teenage boys charged with the shooting of a 6-year-old girl in the Roseland neighborhood on the South Side last Friday night.

Landon Barker, 16, and Terrence Lynom, 16, were each ordered held on $2.5 million bonds, while Angelo Clark, 17, was ordered held on $500,000, according to the Cook County State's Attorney's office.

All three are charged with two counts each of attempted murder and aggravated battery with a firearm, police said.

They are accused of the shootings 6-year-old Quianna Tompkins and a 52-year-old woman as the victims stood on a sidewalk in the 300 block of West 105th Street about 7:40 p.m. Friday, police said.

The woman was a friend of Quianna's family.

The shooting happened when two teens began shooting at each other in what police called a memorial picnic for a slain gang member, a police source said. A family spokesperson said it was a memorial, but not for a gang member.

The girl was shot in the chest and was listed in critical condition at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, authorities said. The woman suffered a gunshot wound to the right thigh.

The three suspects are next scheduled to appear in court Aug. 12.
