*** TWO FOUND DEAD IN TRUNK OF BURNING CAR IN KC-MO ***


*** Two bodies- police say are of 2 black males- were found in the trunk of a burning car on Kansas City- MO's East Side around 5:15am Sunday morning.

A Fire department pumper company got the call at 5:11am for a car fire in the 4900 block of East 22nd Street or near 22nd Street and Chelsea.

That pumper- No. 24's- reported the car fully-involved in flames when they arrived 2 minutes later and orders police to respond on "a possible stolen" car. At 5:16am- the captain of 24's then reports they found "2 bodies in the trunk."


Crime scene investigators are processing the scene on the reported blue Ford Thunderbird- possibly a 1994 model- and there's no other info yet.

** SHOTS FIRED IN KC-MO'S WESTPORT AREA AGAIN **

... At 3am- police on 'party-patrol' in Westport heard shots fired- see people "hitting the deck"- then there's the report to MAST-EMS & Fire that there's a shooting victim down in the parking lot of the Sun Fresh grocery store at Westport & Mill.


Officers never found any victim or evidence someone had been struck- reporting a possible suspect who's said to have fired shots- but was never apprehended.

* PERHAPS YELLOW RIBBONS WOULD HELP... *

*** Around 12:30am Sunday morning- KC-MO's MAST-EMS sent a mutual-aid paramedic unit to neighboring Blue Summit- where a patient is reported at a structure fire near 18Th Street and Hayes.


Who the MAST unit transported to a hospital was "a 46-year-old male" who- quoting the MAST paramedic- "struck a tree head-on while running at full" speed.

The anonymous MAST paramedic told an E-R physician "the man thought his house was on fire and was running to check."
Turns out "it was the house next door to" their patient's house. The man's injuries were not serious.


Didn't hear anything further about the fire in "Dogpatch."

<><><> OVERNIGHT WEATHER <><> <>

Skies remained clear to mostly clear over the Kansas City MetroRegion overnight. Rising moisture being shunted northwest from the Gulf states disturbance kept temperatures warm through the autumnal equinox at 4:51am: Metro temperatures were near or in the lower-70's..

It'll be a warm- humid and increasingly-windy Sunday with a slight chance of showers overnight.

The weather pattern is changing- and more needed precipitation brought by two- cooling frontal systems is the coming week's forecast- one system Monday and the other toward next weekend.

Some severe weather and heavy rains are possible over parts of the MetroRegion late Monday into Tuesday- then temperatures should return to a more seasonable range for the first week of fall.
