Accident – Death – Obituary News :
Witness Recounts the Moment He Tackled Man at Kansas City Chiefs Rally
Two juveniles have been charged in connection to Wednesday’s shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory parade. The incident took place near Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri, during a celebratory event for the football team’s championship win.
“The juveniles are currently detained in secure detention at the Juvenile Detention Center on gun-related and resisting arrest charges,” the Jackson County Family Court Division said in a statement. “It is anticipated that additional charges are expected in the future as the investigation by the Kansas City Police Department continues.”
Officials have yet to release the suspects’ names. The tragic shooting left 22 people with gunshot injuries, with more than half of the victims being under the age of 16. The victims ranged in age from eight to 47 years old.
The deceased has been identified as local DJ and mother-of-two, Elizabeth Lopez-Galvan.
A GoFundMe started by the family of Ms Lopez-Galvan raised more than $190,000, with Taylor Swift donating most of the proceeds. On the official GoFundMe page, the top donator remains to be Ms Swift, who attended the Super Bowl to cheer on her boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce. Ms Swift donated $50,000 twice to the family’s fundraiser and sent her “deepest sympathies and condolences.”
Key Points
During the tragic incident at the Kansas City Chiefs parade, witnesses described a sense of panic sweeping through the crowd as the shooting unfolded. The lifelong Chiefs fan initially thought it was firecrackers going off before realizing the severity of the situation.
Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves confirmed that half of the victims were children, and one victim, a 43-year-old mother-of-two, tragically lost her life. The investigation into the shooting revealed that it may have stemmed from a dispute between individuals and was not terrorism-related.
Chiefs players, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes, have shown their support for the victims and their families by donating to the #KCStrong fund. The community has come together to mourn the loss of life and support those affected by the senseless violence.
