voice voice voice voice voice Number one top of the list What do we know about the blockade coming to the Strait of Hormuz? It is happening this morning 9 o'clock central time is When the US military is planned to blockade maritime traffic entering and leaving Iranian ports will begin This comes after a weekend where the vice president led the US delegation Overseas a 21-hour meeting with Pakistan or excuse me in Pakistan with Iran and the two sides failed to reach any kind of an agreement because Tehran refused to give up It's pursuit of nuclear weapons. This does not mean that the talks are over the president remains open to a diplomatic solution aides have said Even as he promised a military blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and obviously has threatened again to target Iran's infrastructure So one of the leaders in Iran called it the beginning of the process The US laid out clear red lines and negotiations with Iran according to two US officials briefed on the matter to the Wall Street Journal Ranging from reopening the Strait of Hormuz free of tolls to Iran ending all uranium enrichment and dismantling nuclear enrichment facilities Iran State broadcaster said talks stalled over Disagreements about the Strait a vital waterway that Iran wants to keep controlling and the country's nuclear Program, so that's where things stand right now. Well as for whether or not there's a ceasefire No one has announced that the ceasefire is over. I Guess that's the only thing we can really say about the ceasefire We'll see how it plays out number two. All right Let's go to Overland Park two teenagers are heading to court after an argument at a popular Johnson County attraction Overland Park police were called to Andretti indoor carting near 117th and all Saturday night a police spokesperson said a teenager pepper sprayed several other people during a large disturbance Officers had to run after at least one of the teenagers involved and they caught that person Police said two teens were cited for battery and interference and given notice to appear in courts at a later date So Andretti indoor carting was a mess on Saturday night number three Next up we'll go to an area Walmart where a Kansas City Walmart was surrounded by several local law enforcement agencies Also on Saturday night. Was it a full moon or something after dozens of people were reportedly involved in the disturbance and an assault at the store This was at the Walmart Supercenter near East US 40 highway in Sterling Avenue KCPD reporting that about 30 people were involved in the incident Leading officers to call in backup from multiple nearby agencies. No injuries reported KCPD said an assault investigation is underway. How do 30 people start fighting at a Walmart? Like I understand if you have a couple of groups of people where maybe it's upwards of 10 But 30 don't been on a carnival cruise Maybe that's it, but I don't even know how it gets that big But you see things like hey, don't bump me yeah, I get it at the ballpark Yeah, two guys and all of a sudden the whole rows involved. Well, yeah, I pushed into each other and hey, I Get that I've seen like 10 15 But 30s of yeah Like when you actually think about it all those people being in such a small proximity to each other in a Walmart And then start beefing with each other I guarantee you 20 of those 30 people are like what am I even doing right now? I'm fighting for no reason I'm in this scuffle for no. How did this happen? But yeah, that was at the Walmart on Saturday night East US Highway 40 in Sterling Avenue. So oh my goodness. That's something else number four All right, the stabbing downtown Sunday morning just after 9 a.m. Left one person dead at 11th and grand and as many of you just texted in There was a regional dance competition Happening and a national volleyball tournament also going on thousands of visitors were downtown This is from a 3083 pita national volleyball tournament was happening this weekend thousands of out-of-town visitors right there downtown and Someone else noting three two seven two stabbing took place blocks away from a regional dance competition at the music hall So you had hundreds of middle and high school age girls were just a couple of blocks away from where this was all taking place So terrible look for downtown Kansas City over the weekend number five. All right, we'll get to number five here on the six at six How about Rory McElroy? Unbelievable last year he wins the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam and now he has back to back Green jackets only the fourth time it's been done in golf history joining Tiger Woods the last one to do it 24 years ago in 2001 and 2002 and then also joining Nick Faldo and Jack Nicholas those are the only four golfers in history to win back-to-back Masters and while Rory had a six shot lead going into the weekend He had the hold on for dear life and if not for Scotty Schaeffler's near miss on 17 on Sunday When he came within a half an inch of birdieing the 17th hole on Sunday, which would have forced to play off since Rory Bogey day team that would have been a playoff for the ages Between Scotty Schaeffler and Rory McElroy, but we didn't get it Rory Bogey's the final hole He wins by a single stroke and he is your Masters champion number six and lastly in the six at six The Royals cannot finish off the sweep of the Chicago White Sox They lose yes, or it wasn't a sweep. It was a four game series So they had one two of three going into yesterday They end up with a series split against the White Sox after a three hour rain delay They lose the game six to five yesterday They have a day off today before they hit the road and they go to Detroit starting tomorrow first pitch is at 540 in That series so there's your six at six top six stories in the six o'clock hour here on KCMO talk radio Hey there, I'm Paula Pan.
