Gunfire Kills Man & Woman In Kansas City Northland Apartment

This morning we notice what is likely the 25th and possibly 26th homicide so far this year that puts KCMO ahead of last year's pace and reminds us of the tragic impact that domestic violence has taken on local families.

Here's the report police are sharing with local media . . .  

Homicide 2600 block NE 42nd 

This morning just before 4:30 AM officers were dispatched to the 2600 block of NE. 42nd St. on a reported shooting.

Upon arrival, they heard the sound of a gunshot coming from inside an upstairs apartment. Officers made entry inside of the residence to search for any victims and render any necessary medical aid. An adult male was located suffering from gunshot trauma and unresponsive. An additional adult female was located unresponsive and suffering from apparent gunshot trauma. EMS responded to the scene and declared both individuals deceased.
