Kansas City authorities say at least 10 roadway shootings have occurred since Aug. 17 on the east and south sides. Police say they appear to be random incidents by a number of shooters. “It’s ridiculous,” said a police spokeswoman.
Fredrick Scott, who is black, is accused of five ambush killings of middle-aged white men. Scott, identified by his mother as a paranoid schizophrenic, was accused in 2014 of threatening to shoot up a school and “kill all white people.”
The announcement by Darryl Forté, 55, the first African American to lead Kansas City’s police force, was “entirely my decision,” he said.
