Shooting Investigation at Home Depot

This morning, around 8:10 A.M., officers responded to a report of shots fired at the Home Depot
store located off of W. 135th and Hemlock in Overland Park.
The two male victims exited the store and observed a Hispanic male inside their work van. They
confronted the suspect and a physical altercation took place. A second suspect attempted to
intervene, and it was at that time one of them pulled a gun and fired a round over their shoulder
in the direction of the victims.
None of the victims or any bystanders were struck.
The suspects fled the area in a grey sedan, possibly a Nissan Altima or a Toyota Camry, bearing
Kansas plates. The vehicle was last seen heading east on I-435 Highway.
Anyone with information on this crime is asked to contact the TIPS HOTLINE at 816-474-TIPS
or the Overland Park Police Department at 913-895-6300.
