Officials said on Thursday that the collective shooting was thrilled by the thrill of the people at the super bowl function of the heads of the Census City, killing one person and injuring more than two dozen others, and the dispute between many people appeared from a dispute.
Police Chief Stacey Graves said that 22 people injured in the shooting were between 8 and 47 years of age, half of which were below the age of 16. One mother of two died.
Hospital leaders in the Canasus City area on Thursday provided a little different patient yoga compared to the first police:
University health
- 12 patients (eight have been released)
- Eight gun victims (in two critical condition)
- Four non-gun shoots injuries
Saint leuk hospital
- A gunman hunting in critical condition
- Four walk-in patients (all released)
Children’s Daya Hospital
- 12 patients
- Nine out of 12 patients were shot
The children’s Mercy Hospital said that their youngest patient is 6 years old.
Police said they detained three people from shooting, but released a person, in which they did not determine that two teenagers were in custody. No charges have been filed. Police are searching for other people who may join and call for witnesses, people with cellphone footage and violence victims to call a dedicated hotline.
Graves said at a news conference, “We are working to determine the participation of others. And it should be noted that we have recovered many firearms. The incident is still a very active investigation.”
The shooting outside the union station took place despite the presence of more than 800 police officers, which were in the building and the area, including the nearby structures, Mayor Quinton Lucas said, who escaped with his wife and mother and fled for safety when he was out of shots. But he does not expect to cancel the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
Lucas said, “We have a parade all the time. I don’t think they will be finished. Definitely we have recognized public safety challenges and issues that are related to them.”
Throng had line the parade route, in which fans climbed trees and road pillars for better views. The players rolled on double-dekar buses as DJs and drummers started their arrival.
The police chief said that there was a possibility of 1 million people in the parade, which took place in the city of about 470,000 people and in a metropolitan area of about 2 million, but insisted that the violence was coined by a handful of just a few.
“Law enforcement response was exemplary. In appearance they also replied,” Graves said. “They helped each other and even physically stopped a person who was believed to be involved in the incident.”
Meanwhile, the police are still asking the witnesses to come forward. Many people described a sense of confusion that ripped through the crowd.
The rally was over and when the shots burst, the music was still blurring. Many people initially thought that they were listening to fireworks. But then there was chaos. Some people in the crowd hit the ground, while others jumped on obstacles and some used to take children in their arms.
The crowd was so huge that the normal situation returned quickly, with some fans uncertainly what happened. But then the ambulances arrived and the officers pulled the guns. Some of the less seriously injured were taken away on the golf cart.
Shocked crowd – in some tears – slowly assembled his belongings, tried to find out how to go home. The strangers rested each other as the police had put a crime scene tape in an area where there was a joyful festival a few moments ago.
A Somorore Hank Hunter, a Kansas High School, said that he listened to the shots in a distance after seeing a rally with a friend. Initially, they did not know what it was, but then people started killing the ground.
Hunter said he ran to jump on a barricade and his friend slammed his head into concrete. A security guard entered his friend union station, which was closed to the general public, as players and coaches prepared to leave on buses. There, coach Andy Reid consoled her friend and “Just tried to rest and calm her.”
Social media users posted a shocking police video through Wednesday’s crowded scene. In a video, someone was clearly shown as another person, showing the contraction of the chest on a victim, who appeared in pain, lay on the ground nearby. People shouted in the background.
In another video, one person was chased chasing two people and to deal with them, kept them down until two police officers arrived. In an interview on Thursday with ABC’s “Good Morning America”, Vichita, Kansas’s tray filter stated that he saw someone chased and took action.
“I couldn’t see much. I heard, ‘Meet them!” I saw a flash next to me. “They started shouting that, ‘There is a gun! There is a gun!”
Filter said that he and another person kept the pin to the person until the officers arrived. “I remember that the officers were pulling their feet away from him and at that time I was looking for my wife and children,” he said.
It was not immediately clear whether the person he kept down was involved in the shooting, but the filter’s wife KC saw a gun nearby and picked it up.
The woman killed in the shooting was identified by the radio station KKFI-FM as Lisa Lopez-Galavan, hosting the “taste of Tedano”.
Lopez-Galwan, whose DJ name was “Lisa ji”, a major and dedicated mother from a major Latin family in the region, Rosa Izuriata and Martha Ramirez, two childhood friends, who worked with her in a staffing company.
“He is a type of person who will jump in front of a bullet for someone – which will be Lisa,” said Isuriata.
The Canasus City has long struggled with gun violence, and in 2020 it was one of the nine cities targeted by the US justice department in an attempt to tighten the violent crime. In 2023, the city matched a record with 182 housewives, most of which included guns.
Lucas has included calling new laws to reduce gun violence with mayors across the country, including universal background probe.
“We did everything to make the incident as safe as possible,” Democrat, Lucas said in an interview on KMBC-TV on Thursday. “But as long as we have fools that will complete such acts, as long as we have access to the firearms with this level of capacity, we can see such events.”
Dr. of University Health Truman Medical Center. Dustin Neil said that three people with gunshot wounds were still being treated there on Thursday, including two in critical condition.
There is a person who survived only because the staff took him to the operating room within five minutes of arrival, Neil said.
Stephanie Mayor, the Chief Nursing Officer of Children Mercy Census City, said it was treating 12 patients, including 11 children aged 6 to 15, out of which nine faced gunshot wounds. Everyone was expected to recover, he said.
When asked about the situation of the children, the mayor replied: “Fear. To describe what we saw and how they came to us.”
St. Luke Hospital spokesman Emily Hohenburg said that a gunshot victim is in critical condition there.
