Shooting Near KU Campus, Winter Weather Update, Royals Contract Talks - KC Local Pulse Sunday Roundup
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Sunday, January 18th.
We're starting this morning with a developing story out of Lawrence. Saturday around 2 a.m., a shooting at the Hawk bar near the University of Kansas campus left one 18-year-old dead and a 16-year-old in critical condition. Lawrence police say officers were already in the area responding to traffic accidents on icy roads when they heard the gunshots. They quickly secured the scene and found two victims with gunshot wounds. Officers then spotted a group matching the suspects' descriptions just blocks away and brought them into custody without incident. Two 18-year-olds, one from Shawnee and one from Atchison, are now being held in the Douglas County jail. One faces charges of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and aggravated assault, while the other is charged with felony murder and aggravated assault. The cases are pending prosecutor review. Police say the families of the victims have been notified, and they're withholding the deceased victim's identity for at least 24 hours.
On the weather front, we've had some icy conditions causing those accidents we mentioned, but today's looking much better. We're expecting partly cloudy skies with highs around 41 degrees this afternoon, dropping to around 9 degrees tonight. The National Weather Service is telling us a clipper storm is moving through the region with some light snow possible, particularly across northern and northeast Missouri. If you're heading out today, bundle up for those cold temperatures tonight, and stay alert on the roads. Looking ahead to next week, we'll see a warming trend midweek with highs in the mid-40s before another system brings snow chances back by Saturday.
In baseball news, the Kansas City Royals are working through some contract negotiations. As of this month, the team hasn't reached agreements with key players Vinnie Pasquantino and Kris Bubic by their exchange deadline. MLB dot com is reporting on those figures as the front office continues discussions heading into spring training season.
It's been a busy start to your Sunday morning, but that's the local pulse keeping you connected to what matters in our community. Stay warm out there, folks, and drive safely on those still-slick roads. Thank you for tuning in to Kansas City Local Pulse. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's updates.
