KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A police spokesman says officers have responded to a reported shooting at a suburban Kansas City mall.

Independence police spokesman Tom Gentry tells The Associated Press he's still trying to gather details, including the number of victims and whether any suspects are in custody.
