Kansas City offering incentives for 911 dispatchers amid staffing shortage
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss how the city is enticing residents to become 911 dispatchers as the city grapples with massive staffing shortages.
Two people have come out of a Kansas City home involved in an hours-long standoff Wednesday morning and police are working to determine if anyone else is inside.
Three Kansas City police officers were shot and injured Tuesday night while executing a search warrant at the house.
Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves said the officers opened the door to the home and were met with gunfire.
Graves said all three officers injured were men. She said their injuries appeared to be non-life threatening, and she was able to speak with them at the hospital.
The shooting happened around 9:30 p.m. in the area of East 23rd Street and Blue Ridge Boulevard, according to Fox 4 Kansas City.
The shooting triggered a standoff with the suspect. Multiple police agencies were on the scene.
Graves said officers did return gunfire, but it's unclear if anyone else was injured. No suspect was in custody as of early Wednesday morning.
