Thousands of supporters had gathered to cheer on their team toward the end of the parade route when the shooting took place at around 1:30 p.m. local time. Multiple gunshots were recorded by witnesses, who also saw individuals fleeing and shouting for shelter. Some said that before realizing the danger, they first believed it to be fireworks.

Paramedics raced to treat the injured as police moved swiftly to secure the scene. While some of the wounded received on-site medical attention, others were sent to adjacent hospitals. Authorities said eight of the victims suffered serious injuries. According to the police chief, some of the victims could have been struck by shrapnel or gunshots that bounced off objects.
A gunman was caught and incapacitated by the Omaha guy and the KC Chiefs fan. The video gained popularity. Police give their best wishes.

In relation to the incident, police detained three people and found many firearms at the site. The suspects’ identities and motivations were kept a secret, but they did say that they were still hunting for witnesses and further information related to the crime. They asked anybody who had any information or film to get in touch with them.

It wasn’t a terrorist act, the police stated.
The deceased individual was named by The Kansas City Star as Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two and a local DJ. Her pals said she was shot in the chest and died during surgery. She was characterized as a gregarious, affectionate, and sports and music enthusiast.

The Kansas City Chiefs condemned the massacre and offered their sympathies, describing it as a “senseless act of violence.” They said that Kansas City as a whole, the victims’ families, and themselves were on their minds. They also expressed gratitude to the supporters and first responders for their support. They claimed that the gunshot did not injure any of their employees or athletes.

Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce were among the Chiefs players who responded to the massacre on social media, expressing their shock and devastation at the tragedy. They expressed gratitude to the supporters for their devotion and positive energy, and they want to bring happiness and healing to the city.

At the Chiefs rally when the tragedy happened, among the dignitaries in attendance were Missouri Governor Mike Parson and his spouse. They praised the law authorities for their prompt intervention and declared themselves safe and uninjured. They also sent their condolences and prayers to the families of the victims.

In a statement after the massacre, US President Joe Biden demanded stricter gun control laws and said that he and First Lady Jill would “pray for those killed and injured.” He described the massacre as a “horrible reminder” of the nation’s “epidemic of gun violence” and the need to put a stop to it.
Following the incident, witnesses described their experiences of terror and helplessness. While some said they fled for their life, others claimed they attempted to assist the injured or hide from the gunmen. Some said the event had traumatized them and they would never forget it.
The chief of police in Kansas City, Stacey Graves, commended the bravery and expertise of her officers as well as those of other law enforcement agencies, stating that they put themselves in risk yet managed to rescue lives. She expressed her sadness and anger about the incident, saying it was not typical of Kansas City.

Quinton Lucas, the mayor of Kansas City, demanded greater action to stop mass shootings and made a connection between the incident and the country’s larger mass shooting issue. He added that although everyone involved in the shooting found the incident unfortunate, his wife helped put things into perspective when he phoned her after the shooting. “We became part of a statistic of too many Americans – those who have experienced, been part of, or related to a mass shooting,” the speaker was reported as saying by him.
