1 dead, 15 injured in Kansas City bar shooting – By CBS News Staff (CBS News) / Jan 20 2020
Kansas City, Missouri — One person is dead and 15 wounded after a shooting outside a bar late Sunday night. The suspect was killed by an armed private security guard at the venue, authorities said. The violence put an abrupt end to a celebration of the Kansas City Chiefs victory that sent them to the Super Bowl.
Police at the scene said the shooter opened fire at a line of people waiting to get inside. The bodies of a man and woman were found in the parking lot when police arrived, CBS affiliate KCTV reported. Kansas City police Chief Richard Smith said only the shooter and the security guard fired weapons.
Smith identified the bodies Monday as 29-year-old Jahron Swift, who is the suspected shooter, and 25-year-old Raeven Parks. Police said all the wounded were brought to area hospitals and at least three were in critical condition.
“This is very disappointing for us,” Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said Monday. “It’s heartbreaking for a number of families, not just the families of the victim who was killed, but also the families of many others today.”
