Around town: Shot through the heart

Violence over the weekend, in the early morning and on the streets might make you happy to make it to work in one piece . . . where only your co-workers are likely to kill you.

• Gun's don't kill people, triggers do. Murder number 71 in KC teaches a painful lesson in gun safety.


• Two killed in KCK as they apparently are playing catch up. Update: It may have been a rolling gun battle that ultimately left two women dead.


• Junk in the trunk: A local prowler is shot at a salvage yard.


• Kansas Highway money includes funds for a bunch of bad ideas. Science promised me a flying car but only gave me mutant goat clones.


• Another deadly accident on 71 gives you even more reason to forget about visiting east or South KC.
