One dead, one in critical condition after shooting at KCK deli

Authorities say a woman who was wounded in a double shooting at a Kansas City, Kansas, deli was initially reported as dead but is alive.

The Kansas City Star reports that the shooting Wednesday at the Edwards Original Corner Market & Deli left one man dead.  Police initially said the woman also had died but said Thursday she is in very critical condition and unresponsive.

Police arrested a suspect after a standoff at the deli and took him to a hospital with a gunshot wound.

A brother told The Star that the deceased man was market owner Dennis Edwards.  Ellis Nave identified his niece, Lachelle Day, as the second shooting victim and said she had been dating the suspect.

It’s unclear why police initially reported that the woman had died.
