1 dead, 1 critically injured in Kansas shooting

One man died and another was critically injured after an early morning shooting Monday on a Kansas City, Kan., highway.

The victims drove themselves to a hospital about 3:35 a.m. after they were shot near Interstates 635 and 70.

The shooting happened as the Kansas City area is on heightened alert while police investigate about 20 roadway shootings — at least 12 of them linked — in a month.

But Kansas City, Kan., police said preliminary information suggests that Monday’s shooting was not connected to the others. Police did not identify the victims. Kansascity.com
