A Memorial Day morning shooting at a Blue Springs townhouse complex left two people injured and police looking for the shooter and investigating the motive.

Two adults arrived in personal vehicles at St. Mary’s Medical Center with gunshot wounds at around noon on Monday, according to Blue Springs police Capt. Kyle Flowers.

One person was shot in the lower legs and sustained significant, but not life threatening, injuries. The other person had been shot in the hand, Flowers said.

The gunfire occurred on the 1400 block of SW Martin Avenue, a residential area close to Highway 7 and SW Clark Road.

The Blue Springs Police Department has not identified a suspect, though Flowers said there is no ongoing threat to the public, as far as they know. Investigators are working to find what led to the shooting, according to Flowers.

The police asked that anyone with information about the incident to call 816-228-0151.
