TYLER - Just after 9:00 Friday evening, Tyler Police arrested a Kansas City, Missouri teen on the run for outstanding warrants. Three hours later, police received calls about gunshots at Smith County's Detention Center, where the teen was being held.

"If he came all the way from Kansas City and they're looking for him, why didn't they look through his stuff?" Amanda Geer is a concerned parent. Early Saturday morning, she learned her son is staying in the same building as the 16-year-old Missouri boy that opened fire early Saturday morning.

"I really don't understand how someone was able to get here with a loaded weapon," Geer said. "I mean, that could have been prevented I think, but, how they were able to get to it, that just baffles me."
