Kansas City, Mo., police responded to a drive-by shooting outside a Kansas City nightclub just about a week before a gunman shot into a line of people there Sunday, killing a woman and wounding at least 15 others before he was slain by an armed security guard, the Kansas City Star reports. Police identified the suspected shooter but said they do not yet know of a motive. Three of the victims were critically injured but it remains unclear if all 15 were struck by gunfire.
Mayor Quinton Lucas said city officials would soon review whether the nightclub, called 9ine Ultra Lounge, could be considered a nuisance, which might lead to its license being temporarily revoked. “We got a problem in Kansas City,” Lucas said. “We’re losing too many lives. We have too many people shot every year.” A shooting last October left four people dead and five others wounded at the Tequila KC Bar in Kansas City, Ks. A post on 9ine Ultra Lounge’s Facebook advertised Sunday night’s “Sold Out Sundays” event, which appeared to be a celebration of Kansas City Chiefs’ victory hours earlier over the Tennessee Titans, earning them a spot at Super Bowl LIV.
