KANSAS CITY(AP) — Police are investigating the shooting deaths of a man and woman in Kansas City believed to be linked.
Officers discovered the man and woman at separate locations Sunday night, but believe they were shot in the same home, police said in a news release.
Officers were first called to the scene of a crash near East 9th Street and Prospect Avenue, where they found a woman inside the vehicle who had been shot. She was rushed to a hospital, where she later died.
Around the same time, officers were sent to a home on East 9th Street for reports of a shooting and found a man dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police later determined that the woman had also been shot at the home before she fled.
The names of those killed were not immediately released, and police said they were still trying to determine the exact sequence of events leading to the shootings at the home.
