What Happened At Kansas City Today |
Shooting Spree? Nah, Just Another Weekend in KC (Just Kidding, Please Be Safe)
We'll start with the slightly less thrilling news. There were, unfortunately, a couple of shootings reported in Kansas City this weekend. One involved a road rage incident, which is just a fancy way of saying someone got hangry behind the wheel (allegedly). The other happened outside a high school basketball game, which is a big bummer because who wants gunfire with their jump shots? The good news? Police have apprehended suspects in both situations, and hopefully, these incidents will be a reminder to everyone to channel their inner zen, not their inner Wyatt Earp.
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
Parade Gone Wrong? More Like Party Gone Rogue (But Way Sadder)
Remember that tragic shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs' victory parade back in May? Well, there's been some movement on that front. Two additional suspects, both juveniles, have been charged with murder. This brings the total number of people charged in connection with the shooting to four. This is obviously a serious situation, and our thoughts continue to be with the victims and their families.
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
Hold up, a victory parade shooting? Yeah, things got crazy in KC. But hey, at least the barbecue is still good, right?
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
