KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 50-year-old man looking out the front window of his Kansas City, Kansas house was killed by a stray bullet.

The shooting happened about 3:15 p.m. Wednesday in the 6400 block of Farrow Avenue, according to KCK police.

Mark Winner was watching television with his mother when he went to a window to check on an argument outside a nearby house, police said.

The people in the yard exchanged gunfire and a bullet hit and killed Winner.
