1 Killed, At Least 22 Wounded In Shooting Near Kansas City Chiefs Victory Parade

At least one person was killed and 22 others suffered gunshot wounds during a Wednesday parade in Kansas City, Missouri, celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl win, according to city officials.

Eight of the victims are facing immediate life-threatening injuries, while officials described seven additional victims with non-immediate life-threatening injuries.

“This is a day that a lot of people look forward to, something they remember for a lifetime,” Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said in the shooting’s aftermath. “And what they shouldn’t have to remember is the threat of gun violence.”

Each of the Chiefs’ players, along with the coach and staff, have been accounted for, according to a police press conference.

The deceased victim is Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a DJ for Kansas City radio station KKFI, her employer confirmed. She hosted a show called “Taste of Tejano.”

“This senseless act has taken a beautiful person from her family and this KC Community,” the station said.

Area hospitals said they were treating dozens of victims, some with gunshot wounds and some with other injuries.

Children’s Mercy Hospital told HuffPost that they are “treating 12 patients from the rally. Eleven are children. Nine have gunshot wounds.”

The hospital later confirmed with ESPN that its patients were between the ages of 6 and 15 and that all are expected to recover.

Twelve individuals were taken to University Health Truman Medical Center, a spokesperson for the medical center told HuffPost. Eight of the victims are from Union Station, with two of them in critical condition. The other four have non-gunshot injuries.

Saint Luke’s Hospital received one gunshot patient and three other victims who are minors with non-life-threatening injuries,
