Three men dead in 'gruesome' triple slaying

The only reason that I'm posting this is 1. It's in my neighborhood and 2. I think I heard the shots last night. I could be mistaken but I could have sworn I heard a bunch of gunshots ringing out last night. Lovely description, especially when you consider the details.

Three men dead in 'gruesome' triple slaying

KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -
Police are trying to piece together what led to a gruesome scene they discovered Sunday evening.

A police spokesperson said it may have been an execution-style killing and that the victims may have known their killers.

Police got a call on multiple shots fired just after 7 p.m. Sunday on East Linwood Blvd. near Campbell Ave.

When police arrived on the scene, they found three men, believed to be in their 30s, shot dead inside a second floor apartment in the 900 block of East Linwood Blvd.

Police said they caught five men running out of the building.

They are now being held as persons of interest and being questioned at police headquarters.

Officers said they now need the community's help filling in the gaps of their investigation.

"There was no sign of forced entry into the apartment. From the evidence, they were possibly let in. At this point, we don't know how many suspects or even a description," said officer Darin Snapp with the Kansas City, MO Police Department.

Police have not released the names of the victims.

If anyone has any information that can help their investigation, call the tips hotline at 816-474-tips.

  1. Well, there are 6 million or more people in prison in the Untied Sates, and many of them are African-American males.
    Prison has its own economy. In some places inmates are required to pay for basic services with money that they earn in the jail. There is also a medical system in prison- very allopathic. In May 2011 Yoga Journal published an article called Yoga On the Inside. Heart Mountain Prison Project in Santa Fe, NM teaches meditation to inmates. Clanging doors are a "mindfulness bell", and prison is a noisy place. I suppose that its hard to change the channel to the station you want on the prison TV- maybe its shared.

  2. Well, I meant to make my comment about the U.S. prison system on the article about Troy Davis. Darn computers- I put in on the Triple Murder in Kansas City article instead!
