Bystander dies after he was hit by car following a shooting in Kansas City, Kansas
A bystander was struck by a car Saturday in a retail store parking lot in Kansas City, Kansas, after a shooting and later died, police said.
Two people were fighting in a store at about 11:40 a.m. near North 78th Street and State Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department spokesman Officer Tom Tomasic said.
When they were leaving, one person took a gun from their vehicle and started to shoot at the other person as they drove away. That person then hit a parked car which struck an “uninvolved pedestrian,” Tomasic said in an email. The pedestrian was taken to a hospital but died from his injuries.
One of the two people involved has been arrested, Tomasic said. No one was struck by gunfire.
