Baby Sleeps Through Double Murder/Suicide

"KANSAS CITY, MO — A woman, her boyfriend and his brother died in a double-murder-suicide early today inside a Kansas City house, police said.

"Police were called to the home in the 5500 block of Jaudon Avenue about 5:20 a.m. A neighbor said he heard at least three gunshots, then a car `squealing its tires` as it pulled away.

"Relatives said the shootings occurred in the home’s walkout basement. Other relatives, including a 4-month-old baby, the child of the woman and her boyfriend, were at home but unharmed. The baby was asleep upstairs.

"Detectives interviewed several witnesses and said evidence at the scene indicated the 21-year-old boyfriend shot the 18-year-old mother of his child and his older brother before killing himself.

"Police did not release the victims’ names today."
