Deadly Gunfight Preceded Fatal KCPD Shooting.

A gun battle between a Kansas City police officer and the occupants of a van on Friday night left two people dead. The officer was not injured in the shooting, which occurred near an intersection known for violence in recent years. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is investigating the incident, and dash-cam footage captured aspects of the deadly encounter. Four guns were found inside the van, and investigators will examine both vehicles, autopsies will be performed on the deceased, and any surveillance video at nearby businesses will be examined.
