KC Campus Lockdown, Chiefs Lawsuit, and Mild Weather Ahead - Kansas City Local Pulse
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Thursday, February 19th.
We're starting this morning with a developing situation on a college campus. Garden City Community College placed its campus on lockdown at 9:13 this morning following an unconfirmed report of shots fired near the cafeteria. Law enforcement from multiple agencies responded quickly, including Garden City Police, the Finney County Sheriff's Office, and Kansas Highway Patrol. The good news is that after a thorough search, officials cleared the campus and found no actual threats. There were no injuries reported, and surrounding schools and daycares that went into protective lockdown as a precaution have also been released. College officials say the safety of students and staff remains their top priority and they're grateful for the swift response from first responders.
Moving to weather now, listeners can expect partly cloudy skies here in Kansas City today with highs reaching around 60 degrees. It'll be a decent day to get outside if you're planning any outdoor activities. Wind will be light through the afternoon. Tonight things cool down to around 23 degrees, so grab a jacket if you're heading out for evening plans. Looking ahead to the weekend, Friday brings mostly cloudy skies with temperatures in the upper 30s to low 40s, and then we clear out beautifully Saturday and Sunday with highs in the low 40s and plenty of sunshine. The National Weather Service did issue a red flag warning for parts of the region today due to fire weather conditions, so if you're doing any burning or outdoor work with equipment, take extra precautions.
On the sports front, there's a developing story involving Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice. A lawsuit filed this week alleges Rice physically assaulted his former girlfriend multiple times over the course of a year and a half. According to court documents, the woman is seeking over a million dollars in damages from incidents that allegedly occurred at homes in Dallas and the Kansas City area. The Chiefs organization says they're aware of the lawsuit and remain in communication with the NFL, which continues its own review of the matter. Rice missed the first six games of last season following a prior suspension related to a high-speed car crash that injured multiple people.
As we head into the afternoon, we encourage you to check local event listings for upcoming community activities and gatherings happening around the metro in the coming days. Many venues are taking advantage of the mild weather forecast to plan outdoor activities and programs.
