MSHP investigating police shooting near 11th, Prospect
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) is investigating a shooting Friday night involving officers with the Kansas City Police Department.
The shooting was reported around 5 p.m. near E. 11th Street and Prospect Avenue.
Investigators say the suspect of a stolen vehicle ran from a traffic stop.
KCPD's helicopter had just finished a call in the area and was able to locate the stolen car. Police went to the neighborhood near 11th and Prospect, where they used spike strips to stop the car, according to MSHP.

The suspect ran on foot and police shot the suspect, who MSHP said is a man in his 50s.
MSHP is investigating and said while it is unusual, there's no predicting when these shootings will happen.
'I know it's unnerving not only for the community but for the law enforcement community as well,' Cpt. Justin Ewing with MSHP said. 'We never know when these events are going to happen or unfold, so hopefully we don't continue to see this trend, hopefully we don't continue to see violence in our community that's something that none of us want to see.'
Police did find a handgun when they took the suspect into custody but no shots were fired at the officers.
The suspect was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
This is the second shooting in just a few days involving officers with KCPD. On Tuesday evening, a near 16th and Jefferson. That suspect is now facing charges and was last reported to have serious injuries. MSHP also investigated that shooting.

Authorities did not identify the victims, but a Facebook post from a cafe identified the couple from Missouri.

'Our dear friend Midge and her husband Jim were part of the horrific accident on Highway 44 yesterday, and they did not survive.'

FBI issues urgent warning to 150M iPhone users: Delete this text as soon as you get it
The FBI is warning millions of Americans to be wary of an innocuous-seeming text message that's making the rounds — and to delete it immediately if they get it. (Surprise! It's a scam.) Americans have been bombarded with text scams for some time now, but according to Forbes, attacks on iPhone and Android users surged more than 700% this month alone. And the latest one's a doozy, the feds say. Advertisement 3 One particular text scam has caught the attention of the FBI. PATRICK T. FALLON/AFP via Getty Images Here's how the scammers trap unsuspecting iPhone users in their web — by posing as the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) of different states. The messages look like they could be legit, telling people that if they don't pay an unpaid toll or fine, they might be subjected to having their driving privileges revoked or possible jail time. Advertisement The text includes a link and instructs people to reply to the message then open the link. But officials warn that all of this is just someone trying to steal your personal data — and urged users not to click the link and rather immediately delete the text. These kinds of texts can 'put malware on your phone, which then can go in and steal information from your device, or collect your payment information,' FBI Tennessee's Supervisory Special Agent David Palmer said in a statement. 3 The text includes a link and instructs people to reply to the message then open the link. via NYS DMV Advertisement Palmer also noted that in general, if you get a link from an unknown number, you should exercise caution and not click on it.

New York State DMV Commissioner Mark J. F. Schroeder added, 'These scammers flood phones with texts, hoping to trick unsuspecting people into handing over their personal information. DMV will never send texts asking for sensitive details.' 3 People across the country are getting scam text messages from people posing as the DMV.
