KANSAS CITY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a large 'side show' with cars blocking an intersection with dozens of people on the street surrounding a car doing donuts in the middle of the road, according to a social media report from Kansas City Police.
Police recovered more than 100 shell casings from the scene that occurred the weekend of November 12. Approximately 90 vehicles blocked roads, performed dangerous stunts, and discharged firearms.
"At one scene alone, working with a police helicopter, officers used stop sticks to prevent people from driving away. Police issued 33 citations and towed four vehicles.
The KCPD command staff is exploring new ways to stop illegal sideshows and street racing.
"These are selfish, high-risk, dangerous events for everyone involved, including spectators. Please encourage loved ones to stay away from them."
