Charges filed in downtown Columbia shooting

Police found a suspect in a weekend downtown Columbia shooting getting treatment for his own gunshot wounds early Sunday at a Jefferson City hospital, court documents say.
Deandre Denny was charged Tuesday with first-degree assault, armed criminal action and illegal gun possession after the shooting that happened a little before 3 a.m. Sunday on Ninth Street.
Investigators say surveillance videos from nearby businesses showed a gunfight between Denny and another man. The recovered multiple shell casings, including from a .45-caliber pistol like the one found in a car Denny rode in, according to a probable cause statement.
Denny was shot in his legs and foot -- detectives helped identify him by seeing one of the gunmen limp as he ran away in surveillance video, the statement says. Denny had also changed clothes before going to St. Mary's Hospital for treatment, according to the statement.
Denny has felony convictions for burglary and receiving stolen property and is prohibited from owning a gun.
Police found another shooting victim at the scene. That person's condition was not known Tuesday.
Another person was hit with shrapnel, court documents say.
Denny was not in custody Tuesday. A no-bond warrant has been issued for his arrest.
