Kansas City shooting: One dead and 21 injured near Super Bowl parade

 Following the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl triumph parade, there was a shooting in Missouri that left one person dead and twenty-one injured.

According to officials, they attended to seven patients with potentially fatal injuries as well as eight patients whose conditions were immediately life-threatening.

Among the injured were nine children; all are anticipated to make a full recovery.

According to the police, three individuals are in custody in relation to the incident.

Chief of Kansas City Police Stacey Graves announced during a news conference on Wednesday that three persons had been taken into custody and that a total of twenty-to people had been hit by gunfire, one of whom was killed.

To keep an eye on the procession, around 800 police officers had already arrived. According to Ms. Graves, they arrived on the scene as soon as the gunfire stopped, and the detectives there started their investigation right away. In addition, the Fire Department moved quickly to assist the injured.

One of the DJs of the local radio station, Lisa Lopez, was reported dead in the incident.

Within ten minutes of the incident, the critically injured patients were brought to three nearby hospitals, according to officials, while the remaining wounded were flown to three different hospitals.

According to chief nursing officer Stephanie Meyer, nine children between the ages of six and fifteen are receiving treatment at Children's Mercy Hospital for gunshot wounds.

"The one word I would just use to describe what we saw and how they felt when they came to us was fear," said Ms. Meyer.

In addition to treating those who were not shot but had sustained other injuries in the abrupt stampede that followed the gunshot, local hospitals reported.

 
None of the victims' names were disclosed by city officials. Furthermore, they withheld any information regarding the arrested individuals, including any possible explanation for the shooting. According to Police Chief Graves, the shooting's motivation is still unclear.

The BBC's US partner CBS News was informed by a law enforcement source that the shooting seemed to be the outcome of a heated debate that escalated into violence. It has nothing to do with terrorism, the person claimed.
