10 injured or worse in Super Bowl parade shooting per CNN

[gopiscrap]

Update 1 dead 5 critical 4 others non critical

[senseandsensibility]

1. Is Kansas one of those states that allows

basically anyone to buy a gun with no background check?

[xmas74]

5. It's Missouri, not Kansas

And yes.

[senseandsensibility]

9. Oops

I won't delete this because I think it's a good example of regional ignorance, which I call out when it is about the west coast. I'm a little touchy about that I admit. So...obviously, I need to own up.

[xmas74]

12. Whenever they talk about KC it's almost always the one

In Missouri. KCK is smaller and always mentioned as KCK.
The Chiefs and Royals play in KCMO.

[senseandsensibility]

14. Thanks for the much needed correction

[lapfog_1]

31. but the nicer suburbs are in Kansas

Johnson County Kansas, where I grew up and spent my early adult life, is one of the richest counties in the USA. Not my family, but everyone else... lol.

I looked up at MSNBC and saw where I used to work... an address that is now an open field (building is gone now). The reporter was right where I parked my car. Damn.

Gun nuts in Kansas and Missouri.

26. Rainbow cloud sticker in YOUR folder today!

You must be a member of the Personal Responsibility Party!
The Democratic Party!

[senseandsensibility]

39. PRP baby!

[GumboYaYa]

6. I think it happened in Missouri and of course no permits or licenses are required to own

a gun in Missouri.

[senseandsensibility]

10. Thanks

Sorry about the mix-up. Not only am I geographically challenged, but I don't follow football at all.

[senseandsensibility]

17. Thanks for the correction

Obviously, I'm not a football fan and more importantly, ignorant of midwestern geography.

[BannonsLiver]

7. It's KCMO but they have fans all over the region

Rural KS and rural MO. It’s not just “blue KC” as is often said here. Having been to arrowhead MAGA chuds are well represented.

[senseandsensibility]

13. Thanks for the regional input

Obviously much needed.

[xmas74]

23. At Union Station

And boy do the rural ones get MAGA-y.

29. In fairness to your post, the shooter may be a Kansas resident.

With ten victims having been struck, and with two arrests having been made (and a third suspect being sought) there may have been more than one shooter from more than one state. One death confirmed. Such a tragedy, but that is contemporary America. One is subject to such a deadly threat at most public events.

2. More idiots with guns. Gee, what a surprise.

[Srkdqltr]

3. Geeeezzzz. We can't have anything nice. How awful.

[Traildogbob]

4. And Trump

Said the past weekend that he will END ALL gun regulations. And God is guiding him occurring to Eric.

[Oneironaut]

8. I kinda suspect this was just two dummies shooting at each other in a crowded area.

[xmas74]

24. Announced KCPD is looking for a third. Nt

[obamanut2012]

25. Just arrested in the Weston parking garage, as per Kansas City Reddit

[xmas74]

27. I know where that is

Not surprised

3 ambulances left scene for Children's Mercy. That's at least 3 victims who are children.

[obamanut2012]

30. Twittre had a photo of a mom running while her daughter was on the gurney

I guess daughter, I guess could be niece. The girl looked about 11-13. Al;so a video of two adults getting CPR in a pool of blood.

Terrible, and on the sixth "anniversary" of Parkland.

Sorry, B. I know this cuts close to the bone for you.

[xmas74]

40. Two years in July will be when my hospital was in lockdown

Over a report of an active shooter. No one was hurt that day but it was a mess.

I'm not even a Chiefs fan but I have friends who were there today and I enjoy cheering for the Kelce family.

[brettdale]

11. 2 people arrested

Have the police released the motive?

[dweller]

16. Were kids out of school for the parade ?

There’s your motive.

Heard a clip on Scripps that kids were being treated at local children's hospital

☹️



✌🏻

[Model35mech]

19. I don't understand, not disagreeing, just not understanding.

Could you please elaborate on why kids being out of School is a motive?

[dweller]

21. If kids were in school

Schools would be the targets … as usual

Sorry but that’s the way it’s been



✌🏻

[Model35mech]

22. OK, now I understand

Thanks.

[RockRaven]

15. Stay classy, Chiefs fans.

[Drum]

33. That 👆 is unnecessary

[RockRaven]

38. So is shooting each other at a parade.

[brooklynite]

18. BREAKING: one death in KC shootings

Link to tweet

[agingdem]

20. is anybody surprised?...I'm not...

Highland Park (Chicago) 4th of July parade..6 killed 30 injured..

celebratory mass gathering events are a shooter's paradise..

this is who we are now...sick

[democrank]

28. Heartbreaking

Trauma on top of trauma on top of trauma. It’s madness.

[Sibelius Fan]

32. 880 police officers v open carry + 2 armed gunmen.

Guess who “won.”

[leftyladyfrommo]

34. Honestly this sounds like something the

gangs would do. They have made gatherings of all sorts a primary target.
KCMO has had problems with this in the past. Funerals, backyard parties.

[DET]

35. Terminology

The shooting is being described as ‘criminal’ in nature, not ‘terrorism’. I don’t know how these terms are defined any more. Does ‘terrorism’ include domestic terrorism (e.g., neo-Nazi groups)? What do they mean by ‘criminal’ - gang activity, personal dispute, etc.?

[AkFemDem]

37. Social lingustics "domestic terrorism" typically means white shooter

"Criminal nature" usually means hispanic or black, "terrorism" without a "domestic" qualifier, usually means of middle eastern descent.

[Deminpenn]

36. Per MSNBC

Police saying the shooting was criminal, i.e. a beef, not specifically targeted at parade goers. Victims were in the wrong place, wrong time.

Claire McCaskill added the detail that MO's gun nut gov skedaddled with his security detail as soon as shots rang out. Doing his best Josh Hawley imitation apparently.
