\"I don't wish this upon anybody,\" Juan Ramirez, whose 29-year-old nephew was among those killed, told the Kansas City Star newspaper.

Ramirez said he and his family were searching for another relative who was in the bar at the time of the shooting.

Ramirez said investigators told him there had been a fight at the bar earlier, and that at least one of the men involved in the dispute left the bar and returned with a gun and opened fire. He said he does not believe his nephew, the father of two young children, had anything to do with the fight and was an innocent bystander.

\"We're just in shock and disbelief,\" Ramirez told the Star.

I was visiting yesterday w/a physician at KU Hospital about the trauma our metro ERs have seen of late and the toll it’s taking on all. Hate to see an incident like this last night (early AM). My heart goes out to all victims and all touched by last night’s shooting. https://t.co/SBLqcHl45W

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said on Twitter that the deadly shooting occurred just hours after he visited the University of Kansas Medical Center to talk to emergency room nurses and physicians about the trauma cases they've been seeing from an increase of violence in the community and the toll it is taking on the staff.

\"Hate to see an incident like this last night (early AM),\" Lucas tweeted. \"My heart goes out to all victims and all touched by last night’s shooting.\"
