One person was killed and nine were injured after shots were fired at the end of the Chiefs' Super Bowl parade Wednesday.

(update - 15th Feb) KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The mass shooting that unfolded amid throngs of people at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl celebration appeared to stem from a dispute between several people, authorities said Thursday.

Police Chief Stacey Graves said that the 22 people injured in the shooting ranged between the ages of 8 and 47 years old, half of whom were under the age of 16. A mother of two was also killed.

    This is the first shooting I’ve known someone in attendance. I literally heard back from them as I was writing this. What an awful sensation.

        Yeah, he ended up leaving literally just before the shooting started. He didn’t hear the shooting, but all the sirens from police cars as he walked back to his car.

          That’s good. Have to feel sorry for the people around when it happened, it’s a terrifying situation all around.

          Wow, lucky for him. I know someone that was supposed to be at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, but he had decided to go home early on a whim and flew home just before that happened.
