KC mayor reacts to deadly Westport shooting

"Well, this has happened too often in Kansas City.

We're waking up Saturday morning with too many tragedies.

So last night, we saw in some ways, the limit of all of our violent crime fighting strategies because frankly, we see that there were police officers there.

There were Westport security officers there.

We had an officer who returned fire.

But there was still someone who was intent on shooting up an entire crowd of people.

So tragically we saw five people hit.

One person died.

I think that's an incredible tragedy, one which we should not get used to in Kansas City," Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said.
