Two Children Injured In Kansas City Shooting

Monday, January 14, 2013

Police in Kansas City say two children were injured by gunfire Monday evening.

KMBC reports the shooting happened just before 8 p.m. in the 4300 block of Tracy Avenue on the city's east side.

A 7-year-old was shot in the abdomen and a toddler suffered a graze wound. Both were taken to a local hospital. Their injuries are not considered life threatening.

Police say two men were chasing and firing shots at another man. One of the rounds went into a home and struck the children.

The fleeing man then ran into a house, authorities say, but it was not clear whether the man ran into the same house where the children were shot.
