A shooting incident in Kansas City injured nine people with reports indicating that three women suffered gunshot wounds.
The incident happened at a location close to Missouri which is the location of England’s camp during its World Cup campaign.
The Three Lions are in Group L with Ghana, Panama and Croatia with the much anticipated clash against Ghana scheduled to take place in Boston on June 23.
Thomas Tuchel’s team recently beat New Zealand 1-0 in a pre-World Cup friendly and will play another friendly against Costa Rica on June 10.
