Aftermath: Kansas City Hip-Hop Studio Session Results In Westport Mass Shooting

Follow-up reporting puts local public safety probs in perspective . . . Moreover . . .

Remember all of the complaints about Westport's preference to downplay hip-hop at clubs not-so-long ago?!? This kind of proves there was a method to the musical preference. 

Now here's the end result . . .

The shooting, which injured five people, occurred at about 8 p.m. at a recording studio at 315 Westport Road.

A court document states one of the shooting victims told police he and two other men went to the studio to make music. The victim told police he normally called the recording studio's producer to be let inside the building. The men found the entry door open and decided to go in.

They walked upstairs to find five men holding AR-style rifles and handguns with high-capacity drum magazines, according to the court document.

The producer told the three men to leave and two of them went to a recreation room on the other side of the studio . . . The men in the recording studio exchanged gunfire with at least one of the victims.

Police found three men with critical gunshot wounds. Two other victims went on their own to a hospital.
