Alleged shooter at Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl celebration told police he was ‘just being stupid’: affidavit

Paul Contreras and his daughter, Alyssa Marsh-Contreras, join 'America's Newsroom' to discuss the moment Paul tackled one of the Super Bowl parade shooting suspects. 

One of the men charged with murder in connection to the deadly shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory celebration last week told police that he was "just being stupid" when he "advanced" on a group of strangers during a verbal dispute and opened fire in a crowd of people with kids, according to court documents.

Lyndell Mays, 22, of Raytown, Missouri, was captured on surveillance video outside Kansas City's historic Union Station aggressively approaching members of another group, according to police affidavits obtained by Fox News Digital.

The video showed Mays was the first to begin shooting at a person who was running away from him despite being surrounded by crowds of people, including children, according to the affidavit.

During an interview with detectives from a hospital, where Mays was being treated after being struck by gunfire during the altercation, Mays said he "hesitated shooting because he knew there were kids there," according to the affidavit.
