The church softball team went out for some practice today on a gorgeous sunny afternoon with temps in the mid-80s. Just before we wrapped up at 3:30 pm, a black police helicopter soared overhead. A minute later, as I tossed my last few pitches, I could see the copter hovering just a few blocks away. Just as we finished practice, an endless parade of emergency vehicles flew down the street a block away. As I got in my car to go home, traveling north on Wornall, I had to pull over four times as at least eight more patrol cars came blazing from the opposite direction.
Turning on my radio I learned that there had been a shooting rampage at the Ward Parkway shopping mall six blocks from where we were playing. The Target store there is the one where we shop. At least three people are dead, and others are injured. I don’t know many specifics, but you might pray for these victims, families, and responders tonight.
The major news channels are following the story. Here is a CNN story.
