"We had off-duty police officers who were there, security guards who were there and there's still people shooting back and forth at each other a few feet away from police officers," said Lucas, who visited the White House Monday for a previously planned forum on how to curb rise in gun violence across the nation.
Three off-duty Kansas City Police Department officers were working security at the Westport Ale House at the time of the shooting and ended up firing their weapons during the barrage of gunfire outside the watering hole, Lowe said. He said an investigation is underway to determine if the people hit by gunfire were shot by the suspects who initially opened fire or by the off-duty officers who responded to the shooting.
