E-mail alert from CNN: "Multiple shootings" at Ward Parkway Shopping Center in Kansas City, Missouri, police department spokeswoman says

"Police investigate a crime scene Sunday afternoon as they outline bullet casings and place small cones near the evidence at the Valero Express Mart at 1331 Bannister Road where a police officer was shot and wounded. Police believe this incident might be related to another shooting Sunday afternoon at the Ward Parkway Center in which two people were killed.
Two people were shot to death and others injured this afternoon when a man began firing shots at the Ward Parkway Center."
Why not? Ward Parkway has a history of gang-related violence occurring there. It's the most ghetto-fabulous mall in town aside from Bannister. Ever since Indian Springs shut down (for all intents and purposes), it's been the hoodlum mall of choice.
Ward Parkway has a history of gang-related violence...aside from Bannister
When I got into work tonight, the day shift guy mentioned the story just saying that there was a shooting a local mall. I responded, "Bannister Mall or Ward Parkway?". When I got out of the Marines in 1993, Ward Parkway was the nice mall with the big theaters. I don't think I've been there since the mid-90's due to crime, gangs, etc.
It's not dangerous, if you've read up on the story by now you'll know that the guy who did it was a disgruntled ex-employee, and you can find those anywhere.

about 5pm, and heard on the radio (Mixed 93.3) to avoid
the area!
Going to it, down bannister we saw 6 cop cars at the
Valero Gas station!
Crazy! We were minutes from it all!
GO Mixed 93.3 for warning us!

This is what I get for not watching the news. I never realized Ward Parkway was that dangerous.
