Law enforcement officials were called to the residential area known
as Woodbridge, near an upscale country club, shortly before 1 p.m.
CDT. They found five victims with gunshot wounds, three of whom died
at the scene, according to a statement by the Kansas City, Missouri,
police department.
Two people were transferred to hospitals with life-threatening
injuries, police said.
Police said in a statement they located a tan-colored SUV they
believe was stolen from the homicide scene, but they are still
searching for a suspect.
Police later said the SUV was located by a nearby motel, where three
guests were assaulted more than two hours after the shooting but
police could not confirm the two incidents were related.
No weapon was used during the assault and the suspect fled the area
on foot, according to police.
