Several people were injured when gunfire broke out during the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade on Wednesday, authorities say.
- The incident occurred at about 2 p.m. CST as the post-parade rally, which was held outside Union Station, was wrapping up, says Kansas City Police Captain Jake Becchina. “There were shots fired west of Union Station near the garage and several people were struck,” Becchina says. While an exact number of victims has not been released, but information obtained through a police scanner indicates as many as nine people were shot.
- A rep for the police department says “two armed people” have been taken into custody for questioning.
This is a developing story.
