DEADLY KANSAS CITY GUNFIRE ERUPTS AT WESTPORT & BROADWAY!!!


Monday starts with a shocking eruption of gunfire and local killing which reminds us that KCMO has suffered a tragic spate of murders in recent days.

In fact . . . 

THIS IS THE SIXTH KANSAS CITY KILLING SINCE FRIDAY!!!

Again, unofficially, this is the 145th homicide so far this year compared with 171 this time last year, 141 the year before that and 138 total in 2018. 

However, this early morning midtown Kansas City killing punctuates rampant gunfire reaching an apex as we slouch toward the holiday season.  

For perspective, a lot of people don't know that December is typically a pretty bad month for murders in Kansas City but this weekend killing count is exceptionally active and concerning. 

Worth highlight from the deets so far . . .
