Large Police Response Needed at KC-MO Power & Light District for Large Crowds of Youths

Dozens of Kansas City MO police officers from throughout the city responded to Downtown's Power & Light and Sprint Center area Sunday morning to "herd" crowds of 100 to 200 youths.




The incidents began around 12:54 a.m. near 13th Street and Walnut when a Center Zone officer requested an "assist-the-officer" call for "a large crowd of youths running westbound" from apparently a crime scene.




Reported by one police officer- "some function sponsored by the (KC-MO) school district" at the Sprint Center had "just let out."




The first officer reports "a male in custody" a couple of blocks away minutes later- with the rest of the crowd "scattered."




Several large groups of youth then appear at locations around Sprint Center.




At 1:24 a.m.- "all" the "off-duty KC-MO PD officers working security" in and around those venues (KC Live & Sprint) are called to "a surface parking lot at 13th Street and Grand" where "100 to 150" youths had gathered.


The crowds were dispersed "south" from the areas through 1:45 a.m..




There were two medical calls that could have been related to the roving crowds of youths.




One was a "traumatic injury" at "1310 Grand" at 1:29 a.m..  This person refused EMS transport.




The other was "an unconscious" person at "13th Street and Grand" reported at 1:49 a.m.. No disposition of that patient was heard.

CSW BREAKING: Kansas City MO Gun Violence Continues Unabated

Burning-out on all the senseless gunfire and violence in this town- it pains me to report the following...




At 1:03 am Sunday morning- East Zone KC-MO Police officers were sent on the call of a shooting at the Traveler's Inn motel at 6006 East 31st Street (I-70 & 31st St.) on KC's East Side.




The dispatcher told the responding officers that the motel's front desk clerk had been shot.

A fire department paramedic unit transported a 25-year-old female who had been shot in the head to a local hospital.




She was in very critical condition- as the EMS unit reported they were doing CPR on their patient.




The woman later died at Truman Medical Center-Hospital Hill.




The low-lifes committing this crime were reported to be two black males with clothing descriptions- and the 2 thugs reportedly ran westbound from the motel.




Later Sunday- KC-MO Police identified the slain motel clerk as "24-year-old Kassandra S. Peters of Kansas City MO..




Still outraged over the senseless killing of Raytown resident Harry Stone two weeks ago- through my anger and heavy heart I solemnly offer condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Peters- and hope their killer(s) are brought to justice and rot in prison.






Little more than thirty minutes earlier- at 12:28 am- a 19-year-old male was shot in the back at 1305 East Armour Road in Midtown.



The victim appeared to be paralyzed from the neck down- according to the KC-MO paramedic report to a hospital- but otherwise in not immediately life-threatening condition.




Police believed they had the suspect- a black male wearing a red shirt- in custody shortly after Center Zone officers arrived on that scene.




At least police managed to catch this suspect early on- whether the suspect is actually CONVICTED for his crime relies solely on our possibly paralyzed victim.
