Kansas City Highway Shootings

April 18, 2014 by  

Kansas City Highway Shootings, A male suspect has been taken into custody in connection with as many as 20 highway shootings in the Kansas City, Missouri, area, that began in early March, police said Thursday.

The news comes a day after police announced they were investigating the latest in a series of shootings targeting drivers in the metropolitan area.

Police Chief Darryl Forte gave no details about the suspect other to say the man who has not been charged. Forte declined to give a name for the suspect.

When asked if anyone else would be arrested, Forte said the investigation is ongoing.

Local and federal authorities, including the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, have been trying to find out who is behind the shootings on major highways and roads around the city since they began on March 8.

Three people have been shot, but there have been no life-threatening injuries.

If Wednesday’s incident is added to the list, it would be the first one reported in 10 days. Police say they expect the numbers to change as they investigate more incidents and rule some out.

In the latest incident, four people told police their minivan may have been shot at when they were at a stoplight in south Kansas City.

“They said they heard what they thought were two gunshots and then noticed that their passenger rear window had broke out,” said Capt. Tye Grant with the Kansas City police. They then drove home and cleaned up the glass before calling police.

After combing the minivan, police found no bullet, no holes and no additional damage to the vehicle.
