One Dead, More Than 10 Injured In Shooting at KC Chiefs Super Bowl Victory Parade

Two suspects are in custody after a shooting left one person dead and more than 10 injured during the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory parade in the city. That’s according to the KC Star.

The gunfire broke out at the end of the rally near Union Station on Wednesday.

Police provided no motive for the violence.

The shooting happened after the parade and rally, and the coaches and players were already on busses back to Arrowhead Stadium.

According to the KC Star, Missouri Governor Mike Parson and his wife were at the rally:

“This was a tragic conclusion to a celebration we had all looked forward to – none more than Teresa and me,” he said in a statement. “The First Lady and I were present when shots broke out. Thanks to the professionalism of our security officers and first responders, Teresa and I and our staff are safe and secure.”

More than 800 law enforcements officers were working at the rally.
