However, the spokesperson confirmed that there was no active threat. A Panasonic spokesperson told KSHB 41 News: “We are aware of the law-enforcement involved incident at the De Soto, KS, facility. There was not an active shooter, and we are working closely with the appropriate authorities. We have no additional details to share at this time.”
Soon after the first reports came in, a local breaking news handle tweeted: “Aggravated battery at the Panasonic battery plant in De Soto. Police and EMS have been informed of a shooting, and that the plant was evacuated.” However, authorities are yet to confirm the details.
Panasonic’s massive battery facility in De Soto began operations in July, marking the launch of what is now the largest EV battery plant in the country. The sprawling complex covers 300 acres. Panasonic has already put over $4 billion into the development and brought on more than 1,000 employees.
Once the plant reaches full capacity, projected for 2027, the workforce is expected to expand to as many as 4,000 jobs.
