KANSAS CITY, Mo (Reuters) - The weekend shooting of three teenagers at a large
late-night "flash mob" gathering prompted local authorities to pass an
ordinance on Thursday that sets curfews as early as 9 p.m. for people under age
18.
At the urging of Mayor Sly James, the Kansas City Council passed the ordinance
13-0, allowing police to issue citations to parents whose children violate the
curfew. Parents can be fined up to $500 per violation.
Three youths aged 13 to 16 were injured by apparently random gunshots at about
11:30 p.m. on Saturday night in an upscale shopping and restaurant district
called Country Club Plaza.
