*** MAN DIES OF GUNFIRE OVERNIGHT ***
*** A yet-unidentified man died after he was shot in the Crossroads district of KC-MO around 3:15 am Sunday morning.
Police at 18th Street and Baltimore reported a man was shot in the head "by (one or more of) 4 to 5 possibly Hispanic males who left the scene in a blue Ford Taurus."
The victim had been declared dead at the scene initially by MAST- but then was transported to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
I believe this will be 2007 homicide 58 or 59 in KC-MO - about 5 ahead of a year ago.

** Critical Injures To Male Hit In Head With Hatchet **
... Leavenworth police yet have no statement on an incident monitored here at 1:15 am Sunday morning.
That call was a reported "male hit in the head by a hatchet"- in the 500 block of North 7th Street. That's male's injuries were reported "critical" by both police on the scene as well as EMS enroute to a Leavenworth hospital. I missed any possible suspect information.

** Man Critically Hurt After Hit & Run Incident in KC-MO **
... This happened around 12:20 am Sunday morning at 38th Street and Central in Midtown.
Police say witnesses saw a black- unknown year Mustang with tinted windows strike an approximately 20-year-old male and take off.
The victim's condition was critical according to a MAST paramedic- "head" and other injuries- and he was sped to a nearby trauma center.
At least 3 other people were reported struck by vehicles in the city overnight- two of those also hit and runs- but these hapless pedestrians' injuries were not life-threatening.

** Fires Virtually Destroy 2 Metro Homes Overnight **
... The two fires came in within 7 minutes of each other and of course there are no other fires all night...
** The first incident came in at 1:56 am to a house in Fairway- the 6100 block of Lockton Lane.
A police officer was said to have gone to the house to investigate an alarm and found the fire. Distrist 2 and Merriam crews needed 2-alarms- help from Lenexa- Overland Park and Shawnee fire departments- to bring the flames under control at 3:02 am.
Apparently no occupants home when the fire broke out and no report of fire-people injuries.
** Seven KC-MO fire companies battled a house that was fully-engulfed in flames when the battalion chief arrived after the 2:03 am alarm.
This fire is in the 1300 block of West 42nd Terrace on the West Side and it only takes until 2:37 am to bring this fire under control. The lone occupant escaped without injury and no one else was.

<><><> OVERNIGHT WEATHER <><> <>
Virtually a perfect early morning to watch the Perseid meteor shower.
Clear skies ruled- winds were light and temperatures again were around 80 degrees in urban areas falling into the mid to upper-70's elsewhere.
A National Weather Serice "excessive heat warning" continues today and Monday as the hottest days of 2007 continue through at least the first several days of the upcoming week. There may be some relief by mid to late week in the form of a cool front and thunderstorms.
