KANSAS CITY (AP) — Police in Kansas City are investigating after two teens were shot in a school parking lot as a high school basketball game was being played on the campus.
The shooting happened Wednesday night at Ewing Marion Kauffman School on the south side of the city. Two off-duty police officers who were working security for the game reported hearing gunshots coming from outside the gym.
Two teens with gunshot wounds arrived at a nearby hospital short time later, police said. Neither of the wounded teens attends the school, and the shooting was not associated with the game, police said. However, police escorted people from the game for their safety, officials said.
Police have not released the identities of the teens shot, but said their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
