My wife's friend was at an apartment overlooking Union Station when it happened. She apparently witnessed it "I just saw it happen and everyone else is clueless." She said everyone started to take off to the west and shortly after started to run back toward Union Station.
Someone on NBC said police may still be in Union Station looking for someone, I really want to know more about how many people are involved. Two people detained so far allegedly. Police said shots west of the stage, the guy in the tweet I last posted said he heard a shot to the east of the stage? Obviously lots of confusion at this stage, but if several people planned to do this today my blood will be boiling.
per KSHB41 "multiple children shot" edit: they clarified that Children's Mercy had people transported to them, which doesn't necessarily mean children.
KSHB is saying more sounds of shots potentially just now. edit: just corrected to fireworks not more shots thankfully
Probably too early to know, but was this a fight that escalated to gunfire or a premeditated mass shooting?
It sounds like a fight that escalated, but that's just me guessing based on what I've seen reported so far.
Too early, I've been reading everything I can find on Twitter and watching local news and still no real rock solid information there.
edit: all clear at the Westin apparently If they apprehended someone that would potentially be a 3rd suspect.
The #Baltimore Ravens became the first team to release a statement about the shooting at the Chiefs' Super Bowl parade that has left at least one person dead. "Our hearts are with Chiefs Kingdom following the tragic events and shocking violence that occurred during today's parade in Kansas City," the team wrote on social media. "On a day meant for uniting people in joy and celebrating love, we send our full support to every citizen of the region and each member of the Chiefs organization . . . affected by this senseless tragedy." Authorities estimate that 10-15 people were wounded in the shootings. Two suspects are in custody.
Yeah I think I'm going to check out for the day since I'm not laughing about memes from an event where kids were gunned down. It's a damn shame some idiots have to find a way to ruin good things. Hopefully everyone injured does pull through.
There was a shot by the glass bridgish area from what I've heard but nobody confirmed that as far as I know, I think that's why I thought I heard it across the speaker in my own selfishness maybe we weren't as close as I thought originally. Crazy shit
I keep seeing a dj from kkji or something was one deceased is that the same person? I also keep hearing 2 dead as well but it's only from the star
