PRAIRIE VILLAGE, Kan. — A suspect in a Kansas City shooting early Tuesday morning was captured hiding in a Prairie Village garage after a police pursuit that crossed state lines.
The area around Windsor Park is a seemingly quiet neighborhood where you wouldn’t expect to be awakened by police flash lights looking for a shooter in your backyard. But it’s actually the second manhunt for a dangerous suspect on the same street in less than a year.
Tom Heintz woke to the flashing blue and red lights in his neighborhood Tuesday morning and saw an abandoned vehicle in the center island at Cherokee Drive and Windsor Street in front of his home.
“A group of officers including one with a dog took off across the street and in between the houses apparently in a foot chase,’ he described.
