Terrorism ruled out in deadly Kansas City Chiefs parade shooting as cops cite personal dispute

The deadly shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory parade that killed one and injured nearly two dozen was the result of a personal dispute that exploded into violence – and cops have detained three people who may be at fault, authorities said Thursday.

Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves emphasized that the Wednesday afternoon attack on the west side of the city’s landmark Union Station had nothing to do with homegrown terrorism or violent extremism.

Instead, the shooting “appeared to be a dispute between several people that ended in gunfire,” Graves told reporters at a Thursday press conference.

Two of the three suspects are juveniles, she said. The department has 24 hours to either charge them or release them, Graves said.

“We have subjects that are detained,” Graves said. “We are working to determine the involvement of others, and it should be noted we have recovered several firearms … This incident is still a very active investigation.”

Their bullets wounded 23 people – including nine kids – and killed mother-of-two Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a dedicated Chiefs fan who reportedly died from a shot to the abdomen.

“She was the most wonderful, beautiful person,” Lisa Lopez, a longtime friend (of no relation) who works as its newsroom executive administrative assistant, told the Kansas City Star.

The mass shooting ruined what was an otherwise joyous celebration commemorating the Chiefs’ recent Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

Hundreds of thousands of people turned out for the parade – until the gunfire sent panicked crowds scurrying for cover.

“I’m angry at what happened today,” Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves told reporters Wednesday. “The people who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment.”

“Because of bad actors, which were very few, this tragedy occurred even in the presence of uniformed law enforcement officers,” she said, noting there were some 800 cops deployed in the area at the time of the shooting.

Heroic Chiefs fans ran down and tackled one person who may have been a gunman before cops took them into custody, according to one video making the rounds on social media.
