Overview
- The shooting on Troost Avenue on Saturday left nine adults treated at local hospitals with injuries described by police as non-life-threatening.
- Officers who arrived around 4:00 a.m. found a large crowd dispersing and first reported three adult women taken to hospital by emergency services.
- Police later learned additional victims arrived at hospitals by private vehicle, and no suspects are in custody as the Kansas City Police Department continues its investigation and patrols.
- The incident occurred roughly four miles from Swope Soccer Village and nearby team hotels that England and other national teams will use, intensifying scrutiny of event and local security plans.
- Residents report frequent gunfire in the neighborhood, which could shape how local police, venue security and tournament organizers adjust patrols, barriers and other protective measures before teams arrive.
