Four shooting incidents- 2 in KC-MO and one each in Independence and Blue Springs- have left at least two people dead and 7 others injured.
The first incident was discovered by a passing MAST-EMS unit on westbound I-70 just west of Van Brunt around 1:15am.
At first- the MAST medics thought the car containing 4 males in their late teens had crashed. They quickly discovered all 4 occupants had gunshot wounds- one in very critical condition.
The 4 were taken to 3 area hospitals. One of the victims later died in surgery.
Police didn't have any suspect information as the victims were pegged as "uncooperative" providing any information to officers at the scene.
Westbound Interstate 70 was closed for more than 3 hours while police searched for evidence.
At 2:47am- 2 males were shot at or near Pacific and Crane Streets in Independence-MO..
One of the victim's injuries were very critical.
Police were seeking 5 male suspects who left the scene in a white late-1990's Cadillac or Lincoln Towncar.
At 3:06am- KC-MO police responded to the 5400 block of Norton- where they found a person dead by gunshot inside a car.
No suspect information other than "a dark-colored car" was available in this homicide.
The last shooting (so far) Saturday morning was 5 minutes later- in Blue Springs- in the 400 block of Southwest Moreland School Road.
Again- 2 male victims- 1 is in very critical condition.
No suspect information heard here.
At least 2 area medical trauma centers had to close their doors to further patients because of this flurry of gunfire in the Metro.
