Officers were sent to the apartment complex at 4:15 p.m. and found a juvenile male outside an apartment with gunshot wounds.
Another juvenile male was found dead in an apartment and two other juveniles fled from the scene.
Police located the two a short time later at a hospital.
Two of the shooting victims were taken by air ambulances to a Kansas City hospital.
One juvenile suffered a minor finger wound.

Sims also said investigators are not getting much cooperation in their search for more information.
