BREAKING: Shooting At Kansas City Chief’s Super Bowl Celebration Parade

Sadly another shooting has occured.

This time at the parade celebrating the Kansas City Chief’s Super Bowl win.

As we have witnessed over the year, these shooters tend to like large crowds. And this comes on the heels of the other shooting in Texas on Sunday at a church that holds thousands of people.

So far it is known that 1 person was killed and there’s multipe injured, up to 10.

And “2” armed men have been detained. (Though the video shows 3)

The moment the gunfire began was caught on film:

CNN has the current updates:

Witnesses describe confusion as officers ran toward shooting near Chiefs parade

One woman said she was standing to the right of the stage where the Chiefs were having a rally to celebrate their Super Bowl victory on Wednesday when a shooting happened.

She told local station KCTV that she didn’t know what was going on right away, but she saw police start running into buildings around Union Station. She said another person in the crowd speculated at the time that there was a fire.

She also watched officers swarm a stairwell, where she heard another “pop” sound.

NBC News adds:
