Kansas City shooting stemmed from personal dispute, officials say

The deadly shooting that turned a celebration for the Kansas City Chiefs into a tragedy on Wednesday appeared to stem from a dispute among several people and had “no nexus to terrorism or homegrown violent extremism,” officials said Thursday morning.

Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves said at a briefing that two of three people detained are juveniles. None has been charged yet, and additional detentions or arrests are possible, she said.

The shooting occurred about 2 p.m. amid a crowd of fans outside the city’s Union Station as the parade and rally for the Super Bowl champions drew to a close. At the sound of gunfire, people fled in every direction while police and first responders began swarming the scene. The three people were taken into custody a short time later.

One woman was killed and 22 people were injured in a matter of minutes. The victims’ ages range from 8 to 47, Graves said, and at least half are younger than 16.
