In the 1950s, approximately 78,000 people lived in Kansas City’s midtown neighborhoods, which span roughly Crown Center to the Plaza and State Line Road to Troost Avenue. Two urban design experts will discuss what’s changing and what it means for residents Wednesday as a part of KC Design Week.

@kcur893 A Missouri police sniper who mistakenly shot a 2-year-old girl — and who fought to keep his name hidden from the public — is now a Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper. His name is Keaton Siebenaler. KCUR and The Midwest Newsroom sued the city of Joplin, Missouri, to reveal the sniper’s identity, so that other departments would know his background. However, the Highway Patrol said it knew of Siebenaler’s past when it hired him. Siebenaler now patrols Vernon and Barton counties, about an hour south of Kansas City. But on March 26, 2022, he was known as Sniper 1. KCUR’s Sam Zeff reports how Siebenaler made a series of mistakes that led to the unnecessary death of Clesslynn Crawford. 🎙️Hosted by Sam Zeff 📹Produced and filmed by Zach Perez 🖥️Edited by Gabe Rosenberg #kansascity #police #shooting ♬ original sound - KCUR - Kansas City
