BNSF Aggravated Assault
December 19, 2015

BNSF needs your help identifying a suspect in the Kansas City metropolitan area.

At about 11 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 19, an unknown person fired about 10 rounds from a 9mm pistol into BNSF’s Argentine Yard in Kansas City, Kan. from the 42nd Street bridge.

One of the bullets ricocheted and went through the grill of a Kubota vehicle and into the cab. A BNSF employee was struck in the leg, either by the bullet or a fragment from the vehicle. He started bleeding but was not seriously injured and didn’t realize it was caused by gunfire. Another bullet entered the vehicle’s rear passenger side tire.

At 6 a.m. the next morning, mechanics found a bullet in the vehicle’s cab and noticed bullet holes in the tractor. BNSF Police special agents found 10 casings on the bridge.

This incident could have been much worse and BNSF is thankful its employee wasn’t hurt more seriously. It’s important that the shooter be identified. BNSF is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in this case.

Please call 800-832-5452 if you have any information regarding this case.
