*** THREE SHOT- 2 CRITICAL IN KC-MO WESTPORT SHOOTING ***
***Three people were shot in 2 separate vehicles in Westport early Saturday morning. The victims then drove themselves to two different hospitals.
Police and EMS crews were called out at 3:29am to a gas station's parking lot in the 4000 block of Broadway where a shooting had reportedly occurred. Officers arrived minutes later- finding "a lot of blood" on the lot but no victims to be found..
Another officer already at a nearby hospital then reports "5 to 6" shooting victims had arrived by a citizen's car. It turns out only 2 victims are actually here- and one of them is reported to be in quite critical condition.
Soon- another shooting victim has reportedly arrived at another hospital's E-R across town. That victim too is reported to be in grave condition.
There are vague witness descriptions of one- possibly two other suspect vehicles involved- police said those witnesses weren't cooperating very much with the investigation.
