TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Authorities say an 18-year-old woman has been killed and four others have been wounded in a Topeka shooting.

The Topeka Capital-Journal (https://bit.ly/2lT9xIX ) reports that the woman who was killed was identified Sunday morning as 18-year-old Kianna Hodge.

Police Lt. Andrew Beightel says the shooting happened late Saturday. He says a short time later, three men suffering from non-life threatening gunshot wounds arrived in the parking lot of a hospital emergency department. Officers found Hodge and another woman in a different vehicle around the same time.



Hodge was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other woman suffered injuries not believed to be life-threatening.

No arrests were immediately made. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
