(AP) -- KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Kansas City police are looking for clues about who brutally beat a 44-year-old disabled veteran inside the group home where he lives.

The Kansas City Star reports the victim remained unconscious Thursday. The home's manager found him critically injured around 9 a.m. Tuesday after kicking open the door to his room.

The manager says the victim had a friend over to watch television Monday evening, and there was some banging on the floors and walls overnight.

Police say nothing appears to have been taken, and they don't have a motive. They say one other man, who is nearly blind, also lives in the home.
