KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - At least two people were killed Sunday afternoon in a shooting at a shopping center, a fire official said.
The shooting occurred shortly before 3:30 p.m. at the Ward Parkway shopping center, according to police.
"We have at least two fatalities, maybe more," said Joe Vitale, a fire department battalion chief.
Witnesses gave conflicting accounts of exactly where the shots were fired, and it was not immediately clear how the chaos began. A window was shot out at a Starbucks coffee shop, but some witnesses said shots were fired near a Target store.
Aaron Washington, 34, a Target employee, said the shooting appeared to happen near the store's entrance into the mall. He said he was coming back from lunch when he heard gunshots, and saw one man holding his eye.
"The man had apparently been shot," Washington said.
Authorities evacuated a movie theater in the shopping center and the facility was shut down. Surrounding streets also were closed.
Other information was not immediately available. The identity of the shooter and those who died was not released.

I hate it when they kill themselves.
Maybe an armed civilian got him...

Yes but just think how much money we would waste by prosecuting/icarcerate the POS. Now the gun grabbers can waste the money on something else like trying to ban guns.[:(][xx(]

Just saw it on the news...think there are 4 dead now.
Yea I heard 4 dead also but it's like anything else we will have to wait till tomorrow before the truth comes out.
Anyway the media is saying they now "believe" he was the same guy as the car the cops were after was found in the mall parking lot.
Still nothing officially.

they did, maybe they could sue the sign company for a defective
product.
