KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A shooting at a shopping center this afternoon left three people dead, including the gunman, police said.
Two people were shot about 3:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the Ward Parkway Center, according to police. Then, the gunman went inside the mall and fired more shots, wounding at least two people, police spokesman Tony Sanders said.
The man was shot to death inside the mall, Sanders said. Police fired shots, but it was not immediately clear if he was killed by police.
Aaron Washington, 34, a Target employee, said he was coming back from lunch when he heard gunshots, and saw one man holding his eye.
``The man had apparently been shot,'' Washington said.
Authorities evacuated a movie theater in the shopping center and the facility was shut down. Surrounding streets also were closed.
Other information was not immediately available. The identity of the shooter and those who died was not released.
