Mother of 5 shot, killed at Chuck E. Cheese in Iowa during argument with another mom
DAVENPORT, IA -- A mother of five was shot and killed at a Chuck E. Cheese in Davenport, Iowa Sunday evening.
Police were called to the scene and found Eloise Chairs, 29, unresponsive. She later died at the hospital.
Treshonda M. Pollion, 24, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. She is being held in jail without bond.
According to Chairs' family, they said she got into an argument with another mother at Chuck E. Cheese after her son's game card was taken by another child. The other mother's friend -- Pollion -- allegedly took out a gun and shot Chairs in the shoulder. The bullet hit a major artery, which caused her to bleed out and die. Chairs' sister Christena Chairs said Eloise's children witnessed their mother's shooting.
Chairs' family told News 8 that she was a loving mother of five children, including a four-week-old baby girl -- a child she was especially excited for, friends say, as her other children were all boys.
Throughout the night, kids and parents were seen talking with police and rushing out of the Chuck E. Cheese.
"What about the kids. That's immediately the thought," said John DeTaeye. "The kids that were here for whatever reasons. Those sounds of gun shots will live on with those kids for the rest of their lives, and every time they pass this place they're gonna think of how awful that was."
For now, the Davenport Chuck E. Cheese is temporarily closed.
