America experienced another mass shooting on Wednesday (February 14). One person was killed and up to 15 victims were injured in a shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade.
According to multiple reports, Kansas City police detained two armed suspects. The individuals were not identified.
Officials said three people are in critical condition. Five more victims are in serious condition. One person suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Thousands of Kansas City Chiefs fans gathered downtown to celebrate the team’s Super Bowl victory. Gunfire erupted near the end of the parade.
The Super Bowl parade shooting added to the grim realities of frequent mass shootings in the United States. What was meant to be a celebration turned into a tragedy as at least one family lost a loved one due to senseless gun violence.
“Praying for Kansas City,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Officials are still gathering facts about the shooting, but they do not believe it was motivated by terrorism based on initial information. Missouri is an open-carry state.
The mass shooting at the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City occurred just days after a woman opened fire at Lakewood Church in Houston. Two people were injured in the Houston shooting. The church shooter was killed by law enforcement.
This is a developing story.
