Two Minors Charged in Connection to Deadly⁢ Shooting at Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl Parade

Authorities announced on Friday that ​two minors have been charged in connection to the tragic shooting at the Kansas City⁢ Chiefs Super Bowl parade earlier this week. The incident, which turned a celebration into a nightmare, resulted in the death of a 43-year-old woman and ​left more than 20 people, including 11 children, injured.

The two juveniles, whose identities have not been⁢ disclosed by the police, were charged on Thursday and are currently being held‍ on gun-related and resisting arrest charges⁤ at a juvenile facility. However, a⁢ third ‌minor was​ released after investigators determined that they were not ‍involved in the shooting.

The Jackson County,‌ Missouri, Family Court Division stated that additional charges are expected⁤ in​ the future as the investigation by the Kansas City‌ Police Department continues.

Dispute Between Individuals, ​Not‍ Terrorism

During a news conference on Thursday, KC​ Police Chief⁣ Stacey ⁤Graves clarified that the initial‍ findings‍ of the shooting⁢ indicate that there was no connection to terrorism or homegrown violent extremism. Instead, it appeared to be a dispute between several individuals that escalated⁤ into gunfire.

Immediately after the shooting, three⁤ individuals were detained by the police, and firearms‌ were recovered from the scene. More ‍than 800 law enforcement⁣ officers were present in and around Union Station when the ‌shots rang out.

Video footage shared on ‌social media⁣ showed several parade goers tackling a man who was running through the crowd after the shooting. The bystanders managed to ⁣restrain the man for about 30 seconds until the arrival⁣ of ​the police. ⁤One ‍witness even reported seeing a gun⁤ falling away from the man as he was tackled to the ​ground. It remains unclear if the person apprehended by the parade goers⁤ is one of ⁣the charged juveniles.

The victim who tragically lost ⁣her life due​ to the gunshot wounds was identified​ as Lisa​ Lopez-Galvan, a DJ ‍for a Kansas City radio station and a mother of⁣ two ⁤children.
