Yelling," the witness said, according to the affiliate.When police arrived, the suspect fled on foot, shooting at them.

She notified the police and began driving slowly until an officer arrived and got on the bus, according to CNN affiliate KSHB.The suspect then shot the officer and bus driver before getting off the bus, according to Lowe.
— Mayor Q July 2, 2020 The shootings have taken an emotional toll on the Kansas City police force, Smith said."It's very difficult to talk to the officers right now, I guess I'd say to them that the mission hasn't change that our dedication to this city and to the people of this city hasn't changed and more now than ever they're probably needed," Smith said while holding back tears.
