KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Kansas City police are releasing more details about two
officer-involved shootings last week that left three people dead.
Officers fatally shot a woman who was involved in a standoff Thursday after
she was seen walking with a sword in a northern Kansas City neighborhood.
About an hour later, police shot and killed two men who were fighting in
downtown Kansas City.
Police say Timothy Mosley of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Robert White, a homeless
man, had several confrontations on Barney Allis Plaza before officers arrived.
The two men were again fighting when police say Mosley pointed a gun at
officers, prompting the officers to shoot and hit both men.
In the second shooting, police say they shot 28-year-old Ashley Simonetti
after she ran at officers with a 27-inch steel sword after the standoff.
