The police have officially reacted to the shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl LVIII celebration parade that left one person dead and 22 injured.
Now according to the police, the mass shooting could have stemmed from a dispute among several people and the total number of victims is 23 according to Police Chief Stacey Graves.

Graves said that the 22 people injured in the shooting ranged between the ages of 8 and 47 years old and that half of the injured were under the age of 16.
Fire Chief Ross Grundyson said the victims included eight critically hurt and seven in serious condition.
An adult who had been detained has been released from custody, police spokesperson Alayna Gonzalez told multiple media outlets Thursday. That leaves two juveniles detained.
“The two juveniles are currently being held in custody while we work with juvenile prosecutors to review investigative findings and determine applicable charges,” Gonzalez said.

Investigators are calling for witnesses, people with cellphone footage and victims of the violence to call a dedicated hotline.
“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,” Graves said at a news conference.
The cops seem to be having difficulty figuring out who shot first via TMZ Sports.
Our sources tell us all the young guys you can see on camera here all looked to be rolling together as a group — and that they were bickering with a much taller and possibly older man off camera … who our eyewitnesses say definitely fired the first shots at them.
It’s not entirely clear if the young guys fired back, but we’re told people there believe they might have … although, you don’t see them pull out or use a gun at all in these videos.
Of course, in the aftermath of this … cops have only charged 2 individuals — juveniles as they’ve been described — with gun-related offenses, although more charges are likely to come.
Who knows what really happened?
