Independence MO Police Shooting Leaves Male Victim With Critical Injuries



There is little information yet to go on- but paramedics were called by police to a shooting around 2:15am Sunday morning in the area of Osage & Gudgell.


A man- thought to be in his 30's- had been shot 4 times by Independence police.

That man was taken to a Metro KC trauma center with two gunshot wounds to the chest- and one each to the abdomen and a hand.

Independence police are officially saying the officer shot the man in self-defense after the suspect indicated he was armed at the end of a vehicle chase involving the suspect and 2 other males.

The other 2 men were arrested without incident or injury.
