The local Kansas City television station was televising the 6 PM news. We were about to have dinner. The television screen displayed a close up of a human body lying on the street in two pieces. The voice from the nearby policeman stated that the person "had been shot with a sawed off shotgun in the lower chest, and the killing appeared to me mob related".
