Kansas City mayor voices frustration over gun laws
Just as he has during other shootings this summer, Kansas City Mayor Sly James appeared on the scene and voiced frustration at the event.
"This violence is rampant, not just here, but across this entire country,” James said. “It doesn't seem to be slowing down. Don't know what's causing it. Nobody has any silver-bullet answers for how to stop it.”
James also spoke on what he feels is the need to address gun laws in the country.
“Idiots who have guns are going to use those guns for bad things,” James said. “So until we come to grips with that and start taking guns out of the hands of people that shouldn't have them, we're going to continue to have this. It's just that simple.”
What’s next?
Kansas City police are continuing to investigate the case.
