It appears that he came to the mall to shoot people, " said Sgt. Tony Sanders, a Kansas City police spokesman. " Whether it was random or not we do not know. " Police are also investigating any connection the man may have had to the death of an elderly woman whose body was found in her home a few miles away, police said. Sanders said the man shot and killed two people in the parking lot of Ward Parkway Center, about nine miles south of downtown, about 3:30 p.m. He continued into the mall, where witnesses said he fired several more shots with what appeared to be a sawed-off shotgun, but police later determined to be a rifle.
