Fireworks Kills A Man In Miami County-KS.

The KANSAS CITY STAR is reporting a 25-year-old Mission-KS man- Brock Barrett- was killed while lighting a "4-inch mortar" that exploded in his face.

It happened about 9 pm in the 35100 block of Indianapolis Road.

A medical helicopter flew Barrett to a K.C. trauma center where he died of his injuries.

I heard another call for "burns caused by fireworks" in south-Midtown yesterday afternoon- but those injuries were minor.
