On Oct. 15, the City of Kansas City shut down Westport Media Collective following the shooting, claiming the business did not have a valid license to operate. The business also did not have a current inspection from the fire marshal and was forced to close immediately as a result of the violations.

A KCPD spokesperson told KCTV earlier this month of the five people injured in the shooting, three had critical injuries and two others had serious injuries.

This is a developing story. KCTV will update it as more information becomes available.
