Bootstrap Button Group with Modal and Tooltip

Question

I am trying to create a Button Group in Bootstrap with 3 buttons. The last 'Delete' button also has a Modal attached to it. My code looks like this to get the Modal to work.

<div class="btn-group btn-group-sm">
  <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary" role="button" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="View">V</a>
  <a href="#" class="btn btn-success" role="button" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="Edit">E</a>
  <a href="#" data-target="#deleteModal" class="btn btn-danger" role="button" data-toggle="modal" data-placement="top" title="Delete">D</a>
</div>

Above code works and buttons are nicely grouped. The Modal works on the Delete button. But when I do below code to get the tooltip and modal to work on the Delete button, the button is not part of the group anymore and becomes a button on its own.

<div class="btn-group btn-group-sm">
  <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary" role="button" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="View">V</a>
  <a href="#" class="btn btn-success" role="button" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="Edit">E</a>
  <span data-toggle="modal" data-target="#deleteModal">
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-danger" role="button" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="Delete">D</a>
  </span>
</div>
