1 dead, at least 22 injured in shooting near Kansas City Super Bowl parade

One person is dead and at least 22 people have been injured following a shooting at the end of the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade.
Eight children are reportedly among the injured.
Fans were urged to exit the arena as soon as possible once officers first heard shots being fired outside of Union Station, adjacent to the heart of the rally where Chiefs players were greeted, around 3 p.m.
In a press conference following the incident, Kansas City’s Police Chief Stacey Graves said police do not have an exact number of the injured, but believe that 10 to 15 people suffered bullet wounds.
Though unconfirmed by police at this time, three victims are reportedly listed in critical condition and five in serious condition.
Police say two people are now in custody and following the press conference, they referred to both detainees as “suspects.”
At this time, police haven’t confirmed whether the shooting was directly connected to the rally or if it was an isolated incident.
An estimated one million people had gathered in downtown Kansas City for the celebration of back-to-back Super Bowl wins.
All Kansas City Chiefs players, coaches and staff were safely evacuated out of harm’s way, along with the governors of both Missouri and Kansas who were both present at the rally.
The incident has been declared in the 48th mass shooting in the United States since the new year.
This is a developing news story. More to come.

Thousands of phone cameras and no footage used by this news report. One person was interviewed and sounded like they were reading a script.

Superbowl is a diversion for the mindless.
