Sunday afternoon started out like any other day for Jeff Ashford and his wife and daughter. Ashford, who grew up in Iola and now lives in Shawnee, took his wife and daughter to the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City for a talent show. Little did the family know a shooting would take place at the building.

“We got there in the front and I dropped my wife and daughter off,” Ashford said. “I went to park the car and then we were ushered into a room.”

Ashford said they were held in the room for about an hour and a half and the group was told that there had been a shooting but they didn’t know any details.
