A shot close the Kansas-Missouri tell run along led to a law investigation that extended onto the campus of the University of Kansas Health System, according to KCTV5. The gunfire occurred near 39th Street and State Line Road in Kansas City, Missouri.
Authorities confirmed that one person was injured in the shooting and taken to a hospital. No further details about the victim’s condition were released.
Although the shooting happened off campus, a stray bullet traveled across the state line and struck a tower at the University of Kansas Health System, a spokesperson for the hospital told KCTV5.

Kansas City police temporarily shut down the intersection of 39th Street and State Line Road as they investigated the shooting. Because of the proximity to campus, the KU Police Department also responded to the scene.
KU police later confirmed there was no current threat to anyone on or near the campus around 39th Street and Rainbow Boulevard.
