RIP Cadence Harris, 5
Cadence was killed Friday night during a police shoot out with her alleged abductor.
Kansas City, Kansas police first claimed that she had been shot by the suspect, Marcus McGowan.

McGowan ^ was shot by police and is in serious condition in the hospital but expected to pull through.
His grandmother claims that this was no abduction. According to her, Cadence and her mother lived with them -- Marcus considered the girl like his daughter. After some kind of domestic dispute on Friday night, the mother took off to call police and Marcus drove off with Cadence.
According to police, McGowan was chased and pinned at a construction site when he got out of the car and started shooting at police officers, who then returned fire.
Initially, police claimed that McGowan shot Cadence and that no police bullets had hit the suspect's car with the girl inside. That claim has since been walked back; the death of Cadence Harris is now under investigation by the Kansas Bureau of Investigations (KBI). There were dash cams on the police cars involved in the confrontation.
The KBI spokesman said it would be a complex and difficult investigation determining how Cadence died. I don't think so. Compare the bullets that took the girl's life to the police officers' weapons and the suspect's weapon -- not difficult.
Whoever ultimately shot and killed Cadence, she was another child caught in the middle of adult bullshit and lost her life as a result.
