- The suspect is believed to be among the deceased
Two people are dead and at least 15 others are reported wounded after a shooting Sunday night outside a nightclub in Kansas City, according to police.
Police were called about 11.30pm to the 4800 block of Noland Road, where officers found “a chaotic scene” of people running, said Captain David Jackson, a Kansas City police spokesman. Police called in help from across the city.
A man and woman were found dead, Jackson said. The suspected shooter is believed to be the deceased man, he said. It appeared an armed security guard who was working at the property shot and killed the suspect, according to police.
Police then received reports of more and more victims arriving at area hospitals.
As of early Monday, that number was at least 15, including three people who were listed in critical condition, Jackson said. It was unclear if all 15 people suffered gunshot wounds.
A motive was unknown as of Monday morning. The suspected shooter started firing into a line of people waiting to get inside the nearby bar, Jackson said.
Police taped off the car park of the bar, the 9ine Ultra Lounge.
