A deadly pre-rush hour shooting has closed a part of Kansas City’s highway system, snarling traffic headed into and through the downtown area, Kansas City Scout traffic cameras show.
Police received a 911 call shortly before 5:40 a.m. that there was an injury crash along westbound Interstate 670 near Broadway in the downtown loop of Kansas City, said Officer Donna Drake, a spokeswoman for the Kansas City Police Department.
While officers were en route, a second 911 call came in saying that someone had been shot. Arriving officers found a woman suffering from gunshot wounds inside a vehicle.
Emergency medical workers rushed her to a hospital in critical condition. A short time later, the woman died from her injuries, Drake said.
