DEVELOPING: One person has been killed in shootings at two Jewish centers in Kansas, authorities say.
Overland Park Police told Fox News that the shootings occurred at the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park and the nearby Village Shalom, an assisted living facility. Officials who spoke to Fox 4 said another person was injured in the shootings, but police would not confirm the report.
The Jewish Community Center is on lockdown, Fox 4 reports. The shooter – who has not been identified – has been taken into custody by police.
The shootings, which began around 1 p.m. local time, came on the eve of the Jewish holiday of Passover.
At the time of the Jewish Community Center shooting, teens were inside the building auditioning for KC Superstar. Parents are trying to get to their children, KCTV reports.
“My son and I were walking into the Jewish Community Center this afternoon for an umpire clinic, around the westside and all of the sudden we heard a gunshot, a pretty loud gunshot,” Mike Metcalf, an area resident, told Fox 4. “I turned to look to my right and I can see a man standing outside a car with a shotgun, what to me looked like a shotgun, and there was somebody laying on the ground.”
Rod Wheeler, a former criminal investigator, told Fox News that the area of the shootings is very upscale.
