Three dead in Kansas City shootings
Three people, including a man and his grandson, have been shot dead at a Jewish community site and a retirement home in Kansas City in the US Midwest, the BBC reported.
The shootings occurred at the Jewish Community Campus at Overland Park and a nearby assisted living centre, Village Shalom, local media said.
Police said a suspect, a bearded white man in his 70s, was in custody.
A local hospital said it was treating a teenage boy for a gunshot wound and that he was in a critical condition.
Two victims were named by relatives as Dr William Lewis Corporan and his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood.
They were killed in the car park of the Jewish Community Campus. They were both Christian.
A third, female victim was shot dead at Village Shalom, a retirement home several streets away from the community centre.
President Barack Obama called the shootings "heartbreaking" and pledged the full support of the federal government.
