KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Authorities say a man was likely shot and killed while he was driving near the Kansas City suburb of Raytown on Saturday.

Kansas City Police spokesman Sgt. Jake Becchina said gunshots were reported around 11:45 a.m. Saturday. The officers who responded to that report found a vehicle that appeared to have been damaged by bullets off the road.
