UPDATE – 1:00 pm, February 15, 2024

Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves gave an update in the investigation of the shooting that happened after the Chiefs rally on February 14 at Union Station.

The shooting left 22 people wounded and one dead. The one person who died was KKFI Radio’s DJ Lisa Lopez, who hosted a show called Taste of Tejano.

Graves said that three people have been taken into custody in connection with shooting, two of them are juveniles. Graves also said this incident was not an act of terrorism or part of a political statement.

“Preliminary investigative findings have shown there is no nexus to terrorism or home-grown violent extremism,” Graves stated in a news conference. “This appeared to be a dispute between several people that ended in gunfire.”

Kansas City Police will continue the investigation throughout this afternoon, questioning the individuals who were taken into custody. In Missouri, authorities have 24 hours to charge individuals suspected of a crime before they must be released from custody.

Kansas City Police investigators are working to present the most complete case possible to the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office.

Kansas City Police officials said that after the conclusion of the Chiefs’ Celebration Rally shots were fired. One person has died, and up to 22 people were injured in the incident, officials reported during a press conference today. At least 9 of those people are children.

Three people have been detained in connection with the shooting incident.

Several videos have been posted on social media platforms including one showing a man, presumed to be a suspect, running through the crowd. The man was tackled by two or three other individuals and an object that appears to be a handgun falls to the ground. The bystanders held the man until law enforcement officers arrived.

The Kansas City Fire Department reported that eight people had critical injuries and seven others had life-threatening injuries.

St. Luke’s Hospital, Children's Mercy Hospital, and Truman Medical Center all received victims. The children involved are all between 6-15 years old. Children’s Mercy officials expect all those victims to recover from the wounds.

Children's Mercy Hospital says that they are treating 11 children at the hospital, including nine gunshot victims.

This is an active investigation; KPGZ News will report updates as they are released.
