ST. LOUIS • Two teens have been charged in an apparent road rage shooting that left a 3-year-old boy fighting for his life Saturday.

The boy, who was hit in the head, remains in critical condition, police said.

Jerry Hampton, 17, of the 1000 block of Morrison Avenue in St. Louis, and William Hampton, of the 7000 block of Florence Place in Jennings, have each been charged with three counts of first-degree assault, one count of unlawful use of a weapon and four counts of armed criminal action. Bail for each was set at $200,000, cash only.

Police were unsure whether the two are related.

Police say the 3-year-old victim’s father was making a left turn on Grand Boulevard from Interstate 70 when another car almost struck them. The father rolled down his window and said something to the driver of the other car, a Toyota Avalon. Police say William Hampton was driving the Avalon, and Jerry Hampton was a passenger.

As the father and son turned right on Blair Avenue, Jerry Hampton opened fire, authorities said. One of those shots hit the boy in the head, police said. The father immediately drove the boy to a hospital, where he remained in critical and unstable condition Monday afternoon.
