Four People Killed, Nine Injured in Shooting in Kansas - Reports

No other details.

[alfa6]

I will stick up for the local media a bit in that in these types of situation they can usually just report what the police, fire or whatever agency is involved can tell them.

Having said that I hear all to often on the local news a parroting of what ever talking points the alphabet news is hawking that day.

There are two of them?

Yup. Couldn't fit all that awesomeness in one town.

[DoodleDawg]

Wonder if it’s related?

Police don't think so. They have a suspect.

I’m late to the party, but still I must say:

Kansas City (From, ‘Oklahoma!’)

I got to Kansas City on a Frid’y
By Sattidy I larned a thing or two
For up to then I didn’t have an idy
Of whut the modren world was comin’ to!

I counted twenty gas buggies goin’ by theirsel’s
Almost ev’ry time I tuk a walk.
‘Nen I put my ear to a Bell Telephone and a strange womern started in to talk!
(Whut next! Yeak whut!)
Whut next?

Ev’rythin’s up to date in Kansas City
They’ve gone about as fur as they c’n go!
They went and built a skyscrper seven stories high,
About as high as a buildin’ orta grow.

Ev’rythin’s like a dream in Kansas City,
It’s better than a magic lantern show!
Y’ c’n turn the radiator on whenever you want some heat.
With ev’ry kind o’ comfort ev’ry house is all complete.
You c’n walk to privies in the rain and never wet your feet!
They’ve gone about as fur as they can go,
(Yes sir!)
They’ve gone about as fur as they can go!

Ev’rythin’s up to date in Kansas City
They’ve gone about as fur as they can go!
They got a big theayter they call a burlesque
Fer fifty cents you can see a dandy show.

One of the gals was fat and pink and pretty,
As round above as she was round below.
I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel,

But then she started dancin’ and her dancin’ made me feel
That ev’ry single thing she had was absolutely real
She went about as fur as she could go,
(Yes sir!)
She went about as fur as she could go!

Prayers up for the victims, but I’m with the crowd that says nothing good ever happens after Midnight, too. :(

So what do they want to pull attention away from?

"Nope, that area, as is most of formerly blue to no collar neighborhoods in K KS, are filled with beaner businesses as all residents speak “Spanish” or Spanglish at best."

Oh, yeah. Tour down 18th off of State Ave. towards Wood Ave., and hang a left on Wood for a stroll around Westheight Park. There was a 7-Eleven at 18th and Wood back then. It was the place to be after midnight on the weekend for socializing. Then back out to take a left on 18th and head down towards Quindaro. Nice neighborhood for sightseeing, maybe get a haircut and look at real estate. ;)

Things change over 40 years. But I would be surprised, if that area is Hispanic even now.

"Kansas City Missouri is better."

Oh, yeah, especially Prospect around Truman and up in the street numbers on Prospect from Truman. Beautiful residential areas to the sides of Prospect up through there. Great place for an evening stroll or even to look for a home. ;)
