KANSAS CITY, Kan.—One or more shooters opened fire on a child playing in the front yard of a Kansas home, killing him, authorities said.
The attack Wednesday evening in Kansas City, Kansas, when it was still daylight, doesn’t appear to have been a “random act,” police Maj. Violeta Magee told reporters at the scene. Police didn’t release the name or age of the child but described him as a “young juvenile.”
Officers found the wounded boy in the front yard. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Magee said.
Police found more than 30 shell casings at the scene. They are looking for a maroon Subaru Legacy with a missing front bumper that may be connected to the attack….
