Kansas City:Two men opened fire inside a bar in Kansas City, Kansas, early on Sunday, killing four people and wounding five others in a shooting believed to have stemmed from an earlier dispute, police said.

Authorities were searching on Sunday for the two gunmen, said officer Thomas Tomasic, a police spokesman.

Around 40 people were inside the small bar when gunfire erupted around 1:30 am (06:30 GMT), Tomasic said.

The gunfire sent people running for the exits, with the injured leaving trails of blood as they fled.

All four men who were killed were Hispanic, but Tomasic said that authorities do not believe the shooting was racially motivated.

The shooting happened in a neighbourhood with a large Hispanic population.

Tomasic cautioned that police were still investigating exactly what happened.

He said that authorities were reviewing surveillance video and interviewing witnesses while looking for the gunmen.
