Another Violent Weekend Morning In The 2 Kansas Citys



I
n addition to the on-going Operation 100 and the earlier homicide in KC-MO- there was other news early Sunday morning.



*** There's fatality associated with what was reported originally as a "pedestrian struck" in the 3000 block of North Fairfax Trafficway just before 2:15 am..


The fire department ordered extrication equipment after they arrived on the scene- but I missed the gory details working another story further west.

Accident investigators were ordered however and EMS did not transport a patient from the scene.


I've discovered this was a vehicle vs. motocycle crash- and both drivers were killed.



** That story further west was around the area of 42nd to 43rd and Parallel in KC-KS around 1:50 am: two teens found gunshot.

Police found a 19-year-old male shot in the shoulder in the 4200 block of Parallel- then found an 18-year-old female shot 3 times in the 2000 block of North 43rd Street.

Both victim's injuries were not life-threathening.

Only witness reports are that someone shot into a small group gathered outside near the two locations.


** At 2:45 am KC-MO emergency services rolled toward the 5100 block of Palmer Drive where it was reported a shooting had occurred.


Apparently at or near a place where young people gather- police found a 19-year-old male who'd been shot 5 times according to MAST-EMS.

The young man's injuries were serious to critical- but no one had any suspect information for police yet.



** KC-MO fire was busy fighting 2 house fires Sunday morning.


>The first was at 2:33 am in the 2700 block of Lister. A 1-story structure was found in flames but unoccupied.

Extra fire companies were dispatched- a "working fire response."

The fire was reported under control at 2:48 am with no firefighter injuries. The cause was under investigation.

>The 2nd house fire was a lived-in but safely-evacuated 2-1/2-story structure in the 300 block of North Wheeling.

That fire was reported at 3:34 am and by 3:53 am- flames were reported shooting through the roof. This fire too was upgraded to "working fire" status of course.

This fire was brought under control at 4:16 am with no firefighters reported hurt.

Three adults were made homeless by this fire that was under investigation.



** Independence-MO emergency services ran car crashes reported on both sides of I-70 at M-291 around 4:15 am.


One 20-year-old male was reportedly "ejected" from one vehicle that crashed on the westbound side- but his injuries didn't sound immediately life-threatening.

Two others had less serious injuries on the eastbound portion of I-70 there.
