Three killed Friday morning in Kansas City triple shooting

Two women and a man were fatally shot Friday morning inside an east Kansas City house.

Police said they got a call just before 10 a.m. Friday from inside the house on the corner 17th Street and Chelsea Avenue.

The female caller reported that there had been a shooting and that she was wounded.

When police arrived they found a man dead. A woman was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

The woman who called police was taken to a hospital, but later died from her injuries.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.

The three deaths raised the city’s homicide total this year to 128, just three killings shy of the total for all of 2016.
