One of the Kansas City shootings happened on Prospect Avenue, which is around a 15-minute drive from where Thomas Tuchel and his men are practicing at Swope Soccer Village
An alleged killer is being hunted after a person was shot dead and four others injured in an attack close to England’s training base.
The suspect, who has been identified as Oscar Sanchez-Munoz, 22, is on the run in Kansas City. KCPD Chief Stacey Graves has told local media they were ‘hot on the trail’ of the suspect, who has been described by investigators as ‘armed and dangerous’.
There were four separate shootings across the city within half an hour on Tuesday night including one at Prospect Avenue, which is around a 15-minute drive from where Thomas Tuchel and his men are practicing at Swope Soccer Village.
The shootings saw one person killed and a car crash, reports MailOnline. A house where Sanchez-Munoz was believed to be hiding was at the centre of a standoff with police before the property burst into flames.
Sanchez-Munoz was not found inside after the fire was put out but his car was at the premises.
“If you see this individual, please call the TIPS hotline, please call 911 immediately,” Chief Stacey Graves said.
“We are hot on the trail of this subject and we want to make sure he’s taken into custody as soon as possible.
“I want people to know that the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department is out here protecting and serving.
“We have a lot of law enforcement agencies here in Kansas City not only to keep Kansas City safe but also World Cup events.
“That’s one of the reasons we brought in a lot of outside law enforcement, so we could keep those events safe and make sure we have enough officers to police our city.”
Three adults and a teenager were taken to hospital. One of the adults has life-threatening injuries.
