KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City, Kansas, police said they’re seeking information about multiple shooters after seven people were shot — one fatally — at a Halloween party attended by 70-100 high school students Monday night.
Chief Karl Oakman with the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department said at a news conference Tuesday morning that the number of shooters hasn’t been confirmed, but police are potentially searching for four to six suspects. They also updated the number of people shot, saying there were seven and not eight shooting victims.
According to Oakman, the suspects were wearing costumes and masks when they entered a residence on the 1600 block of South 50th Street.
Oakman said the homeowner noticed they were older than the rest of the attendees and asked them to leave. Police said the suspects complied, but then showered the home with gunfire. Students were both inside and outside the home when several were hit, Oakman said.
