Everytime I hear of a mass shooting happens, I feel really bad about the victims. But it's like, I feel extra hurt/emotional because this is my town this happened in. Is that okay to feel that way?

Children's Mercy Hospital says that they are treating 11 children at the hospital, including nine gunshot victims.

Thankfully Children's Mercy and University Health (aka Truman Medical Center) is just a few blocks away from Union Station. That way they can quickly get the victims to the hospital.

Wonder what the motivation was then. Because 22 people were shot.

So far I heard is that there might have been a disagreement between the the shooters. But yeah, 22 people were shot seems a bit excessive for just a "disagreement". Hopefully we here in KC will learn more about this as the night progresses.

As someone pointed out earlier, KC does some have gang violence. Hell there was a big federal indictment of like 9 leaders back in August of last year. Could literally have just been a couple dudes popping off at each other and people got caught in the crossfire. I don't expect this to be the case, but it is possible.

I was at the mall when something similar happened. Only 2 people got hit there though.

It should also always be remembered that this is America, and people do extremely fucked up shit occasionally without political motivation. It's getting rarer it feels like, but it does still happen.

Yeah I heard that scenario being speculated. But like StarFighters76 said, 22 people getting caught in the crossfire seems a bit high.

But I guess anything is possible these days. There was also a topic today about an old man getting shot and killed, simply because he accidentally backed into another car.

It does seem high, but think about how crowded that space was. If two dudes just start fucking rattling rounds at each other you are actually more likely to hit someone than not.

It's sad to feel so powerless to not be able to do anything to stop these continuous mass shootings one after another after another. Only thing we can do is vote for Democrats in every single election. Who are in favor of sensible gun restrictions.

Also, I don't know if it'll ever happen anytime soon, but we as society need to do something about these thugs masquerading as newsmen. Pushing these sick conspiracy theories, based on blatant lies. Those pushing the Taylor Swift conspiracy theory, as well as a million others, have blood on their hands. They know they're whipping their psycho base into a frenzy. They know what their doing. It would be nice if Biden and democrats get the ball rolling and start off by calling them out for what they really are, along with members of the modern GOP.

Definitely. Look how many people are here at Union Station. You don't even have to aim, you'd hit someone or multiple people with every shot. And if there were 2 or even 3 shooters, 20+ people could get shot in a few seconds.

Pretty much this. It's a cluster fuck in terms of spacing and with shots firing someone was going to get hit.

As someone who lives in El Paso, I give you permission to feel that way. It's always different when it's personal. Afterwards the city adopted #elpasostrong, which is cool and all, but then people started to commercialized and capitalize on it, and that's kinda gross imo.

It really brought people in the city together on the issue, so I hope the same for yours, as the worst outcome is nothing at all being learned or gained.

No, I think it's ok and only natural. The Lewiston, ME shooting hit much closer to home for me, so I know how you feel.

America is so big that people just do not care about anything that happens a certain distance away from them. This is my theory as to why nobody cares enough to do anything, shootings always seem to happen to other people, not to anyone you care about.

I lived in Kansas city 1989-1996

ALOT of abandoned factories to screw around in during the daytime while bored as a kid. Some Bear sightings here and there at night time mostly. There was a grunge band on our block that tried sounding like Nirvana too. Puddle of Mudd came from Kansas City too they released their first EP in 1994 after winning a radio show contest. Jazz and BBQ are some of the best sightings downtown along with sports and whatever else the bars/drug scene.

You're right. It's too bad there's nobody in charge of anything at a higher level than a single city. Like some sort of state government. Or my god what a novel idea, even a nationwide government...

By definition a mass shooting is anytime 2 or more people are shot. So yes. Which tends to skew the "mass shooting" statistics.
