Police - Shooting at Chiefs parade appears to stem from dispute - ESPN

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Authorities in Kansas City said Thursday that the mass shooting that left one person dead and 22 injured at the Chiefs' Super Bowl celebration appeared to stem from a dispute between several people.

Police Chief Stacey Graves said Thursday the total number of victims is 23, including Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who was killed in the shooting. Graves said the 22 people injured in the shooting ranged between the ages of 8 and 47 years old, and half of the injured were under the age of 16.

Fire Chief Ross Grundyson said the victims included eight critically hurt and seven in serious condition.

Three people were detained — two of whom are juveniles — and firearms were recovered during the mayhem, police said. But investigators are calling for witnesses, people with cellphone footage and victims of the violence, to call a dedicated hotline. The detainees can be held for 24 hours before charges will have to be filed or they will have to be released.

«We are working to determine the involvement of others. And it should be noted we have recovered several firearms. This incident is still a very active investigation,» Graves said at a news conference.

The Valentine's Day shooting outside Union Station occurred despite the presence of more than 800 police officers who were in the building and nearby, including on top of nearby structures, said Mayor Quinton Lucas, who attended with his wife and mother and ran for safety when the shots rang out. Lucas said he doesn't expect to cancel upcoming St. Patrick's Day parade.
