A parade in the United States to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory has been interrupted by gunfire, with local police declaring one person killed out of a total of 22 injured.
At a press conference in the hours after the shooting, Stacey Graves, the police chief for Kansas City, Missouri, confirmed the death and described where the shooting occurred.
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas also spoke at the two press conferences, reminding the public that “this is a fluid situation, so all that we are sharing now may change as the hours go ahead”.
Before the shooting, the day was one of jubilation, as Kansas City residents lined the streets to cheer on the Chiefs, an American football team, after their second consecutive victory at the annual Super Bowl championship games.
Kansas state Governor Laura Kelly was at the scene and described what she experienced on social media afterwards.

I hope that America will focus on the country so that the American people will have more prosperity and security
people will never wake up comments are deleted shootings every year it’s just going to get worse
Such a ridiculous country.
TRANTIFA AGAIN.
Ask the looney president why he’s still sending money to Israel when he should really be focusing on Americans rather than staging wars in other countries instead. And helping his illegitimate baby Israel commit genocide.

The US thinks it can sort out everyone else’s problems in the world, but they can’t even sort out their own problems, like crumbling infrastructure, massive wealth gap and, of course, the insanity that is gun ownership.
