OVERLAND PARK, KS (KCTV) - Three people are dead after shootings at Jewish-related locations in the Kansas City area. Authorities confirm that a suspect is in custody.
One of the dead was killed in the parking lot of the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City.
Authorities also confirmed that a one person was undergoing surgery at Overland Park Regional Medical Center. It wasn't immediately clear whether that one person died in surgery and was one of the three dead or was a fourth person shot.
A suspect was arrested at the Valley View Park Elementary School, which is a mile away from Village Shalom. KCTV5's Bonyen Lee says the suspect appeared to yell "Heil Hitler" as he was being led away in handcuffs by Overland Park police.
One shooting was reported about 1 p.m. Sunday at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City, according to an Overland Park Fire Department spokesman. This happened at the Lewis and Shirley White Theatre inside the center.
About 75 people were inside the theatre, most of them children.
Teens were auditioning for KC Superstar and parents were frantically trying to get to their children.
A second shooting was reported at Village Shalom, which is an assisted living center at 5500 West 123rd St.
Worried relatives of residents tell KCTV5 that Village Shalom has been placed on lockdown.
Phyllis Cantor, who is undergoing rehabilitation at Village Shalom, said she heard the sound of sirens. She said many police officers are at the scene and their focus appears to be on a white car in the parking lot.
KCTV5 has multiple crews at the scene. Refresh this page for updates.
