KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Officials said a Kansas City police officer fatally shot an armed man who was a suspect in the killings of two teenage boys.

Police made contact with 25-year-old Hanad Abdiaziz shortly after 6 p.m. Saturday. Missouri State Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. Andy Bell said Abdiaziz “presented a firearm” before an officer shot and killed him.
