At last report- there was at least one dead and two injured from one- and at least 3 shot with one seriously injured in the other.
The first occurred in or around the northern part of Swope Park around 12:15 am..
Around 12:20 am- police were called to Research Med Center (RMC) on a reported gunshot victim brought there as well as a disturbance at the emergency room (ER).
Shortly- another victim arrives at RMC then- about an hour later- another shooting victim- a "17-year-old male shot in the foot- is taken to another hospital "by his parents."
Metro Zone police officers (the zone would be "blacked out" several times Saturday morning) report finding crime scenes of what appeared to be a rolling gunbattle at the Pavillion in Swope Park- as well as along 63rd Street to Lewis Road (where the $17-million soccer complex is being built).
In fact- police closed 63rd Street Trafficway for more than an hour Saturday morning after "numerous shell casings" were found along the roadway..
Don't believe anyone was in police custody regarding this shooting....

The second shooting occurred just before 3 am at or near a popular nightclub in the 8600 block of Troost..
That's where the homicide occurred- and the second shooting involved two car chases- one was the suspect.
Right after the 3 am call to the police- an officer is in pursuit of a "related- possible suspect vehicle" northbound on U.S. 71 approaching the area of RMC- where the chase ends after more than five minutes.
There's a shooting victim in that car (police had a report of "a dead body in a red (Dodge) Charger" and this was it).
Only minutes later a police vehicle pursuit is in-progress- westbound on I-435 approaching the Kansas state line.
This is reported to be the actual shooting suspect from Troost- and the chase continues west into Kansas.
The pursuit continues west on I-435- jumping off briefly on Quivira- then west on I-435 then south on I-35.
At 119th Street in Olathe- the suspect reverses his direction- going back the way he came on I-35 back to I-435 then east again..
After several road spikes were thrown onto the freeway by the various police departments involved- the suspect slows- then stops eastbound I-435 around Lamar where he's taken into custody..
There may have been a third victim of this shooting that arrived later at a different hospital- making a total of six shot in the two incidents and one killed in the Troost incident.
