2 adults charged in shooting at Kansas City’s Super Bowl parade

Missouri prosecutors stated Tuesday that two adults have been charged with homicide in final week’s capturing that killed one particular person and injured 22 others after the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade.

The new expenses come after two juveniles had been detained final week on gun-related and resisting arrest expenses.

Police have stated a dispute amongst a number of individuals led to the capturing, which occurred at the same time as 800 law enforcement officials patrolled the celebration.

The 22 individuals injured ranged in age from 8 to 47, in response to police Chief Stacey Graves. Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mom of two and the host of “Taste of Tejano,” was killed.

The capturing was the newest at a sports activities celebration within the U.S. A capturing wounded a number of individuals final 12 months in Denver after the Nuggets’ NBA championship.

That led Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas to wonder if it’s time to rethink championship celebrations, at the same time as he promised final week that the town will proceed to have fun its victories. Next month’s St. Patrick’s Day parade will go on as scheduled, Lucas stated.

The Kansas City capturing occurred in a state with few gun rules and a metropolis that has struggled with gun violence. In 2020, Kansas City was amongst 9 cities chosen by the U.S. Justice Department in an effort to crack down on violent crime. In 2023, the town matched its file with 182 homicides, most of which concerned weapons.

On Monday, Missouri’s Republican-led House, on a bipartisan vote, handed a ban on celebratory gunfire in cities following a debate that ranged from tearful to offended.

The same measure was handed final 12 months as a part of a sweeping crime-related invoice, however GOP Gov. Mike Parson vetoed the laws. He cited points with different crime provisions within the invoice unrelated to celebratory gunfire.
