DOWNTOWN KANSAS CITY MASS SHOOTING RUINS P&L DISTRICT!!!

We've been watching the reporting on this topic and wanted to wait until all of the info was available and the injury count was complete.

The upshot . . . 

GUNFIRE JUST RUINED KANSAS CITY'S BILLION DOLLAR P&L DISTRICT INVESTMENT!!!

Another important fact . . . Local media helpfully omits that the violence erupted after a pretty decent concert by Rod Wave with Moneybagg Yo, Big Latto, Sleazy & Friends.

Even worse for downtown residents who aren't fans of hip-hop . . . 

Kansas City police said at least 15 vehicles were either broken into or had items stolen from them late Sunday near the Power & Light District.

Now back to the big picture . . .

For years, shootings had been confined to nearby parking lots & faraway streets. But now rising local violence occurs in the midst of downtown's crown jewel. 

Make no mistake, this is a HORRIFIC SETBACK for historic taxpayer investment inside the loop.  It's doubtful that people are going to pay $3,000 - $6,000 per month to reside in luxurious living space that's right next to a war zone. Commercial real estate also continues to suffer from the pandemic and many employers might question: Is it worth it to risk the fate of employees by returning to the central biz district that's clearly in disarray??? 

Here are the basics . . .

Four people, including a juvenile, were shot early Monday near the Power & Light District after a concert at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City.

The shooting occurred just after midnight near the T-Mobile Center at 13th Street and Grand Boulevard.

Police investigating separate reports of nearby vehicle break-ins heard the gunshots and responded, Sgt. Jacob Becchina, a Kansas City Police Department spokesman, said . . .
