The Starbucks mentioned in the writeup below is a half mile north of where I worked for 2 years and had regular Friday morning Bible Studies. (shiver)

At least 2 dead in Kansas City mall shooting
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Two people were killed and at least two others were wounded in shootings Sunday at a shopping mall in Kansas City, Mo., according to media reports quoting firefighters.
There were conflicting reports about whether the suspect was among the dead or was in custody.
A Kansas City police spokeswoman said there had been multiple shootings at the upscale Ward Parkway mall south of downtown Kansas City and the shooter had been wounded. She had no other details.
Media reports said the suspect shot a police officer in the arm during a traffic check and then drove to the mall where he opened fire with what may have been an AK-47 assault rifle.
One eyewitness told CNN he heard three or four shots near the checkout aisles of a department store, and his son saw a man on the ground in shock with blood on his face.
The Kansas City Star said police were notified shortly before 4 p.m. that a man was firing shots in the mall and that several people had been hit.
"We have at least two fatalities, maybe more," said Joe Vitale, a Kansas City fire department battalion chief.
Preliminary witness accounts gave conflicting accounts of exactly where the shootings occurred. Television video showed a window shot out at a Starbucks coffee shop but some witnesses said the shooting occurred around a Target store.
