## Resource

Early Thursday morning, a Kansas City Kansas police officer fatally shot a 27-year-old man named Jesse Fitzgerald at an apartment complex. The incident began when Fitzgeralds mother called police for help with a disturbance, and later for a welfare check. Neighbors described the scene as chaotic, with at least fifteen police cars and the block being locked down. Fitzgerald emerged from the apartment holding a metal spoon during a struggle with officers, leading to the fatal shot. No guns were found on Fitzgerald or his mother. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is now looking into the incident, as the community mourns and seeks answers. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
