At least 22 people were struck by gunfire after shots rang out near Kansas City's Union Station at the conclusion of the Chiefs' Super Bowl parade and rally, with one person having succumbed to their injuries, according to officials.
According to the latest updates from fire officials, one person was killed and three others are in critical condition after the shooting, which occurred near the scene of the Chiefs' rally near Union Station.
According to Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves, the shooting occurred at the conclusion of the rally.
"I’m angry at what happened today," she said. "The people who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment. We had over 800 law enforcement officers, Kansas City and other agencies, at the location to keep everyone safe. Because of bad actors, which were very few, this tragedy occurred, even in the presence of uniformed law enforcement officers."
There were at least 22 individuals who were injured, but police do not have an exact number of victims at this time.
According to the Associated Press, eight of the 22 individuals wounded are children, with their ages currently unknown.
The person killed was confirmed by her employer to be Lisa Lopez, a DJ for Kansas City's KKFI radio station.
“This senseless act has taken a beautiful person from her family and this KC Community,” the station said in a statement.
Kansas City police have yet to identify Lopez as the victim.
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lewis said that all players, coaches and staff for the Chiefs were accounted for after the shooting. He told media that the White House offered federal assistance, as did other responding agencies, including the FBI.
