Police: KC Shooting Stemmed From “Personal Dispute”

The Washington Post reports:

The deadly shooting that turned a celebration for the Kansas City Chiefs into tragedy on Wednesday appeared to stem from a dispute among three people and had “no nexus to terrorism,” officials said Thursday morning. Police Chief Stacey Graves said that two of the individuals involved are juveniles. One woman was killed and 22 people injured in a matter of minutes. The victims’ ages range from 8 to 47 and half are younger than 16. “This incident is still a very active investigation,” she noted.

Mayor Quinton Lucas is questioning whether his city will ever host another public celebration like Wednesday’s. “I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say that we’ll probably evaluate in the event that we’re blessed to have another Super Bowl Championship,” Lucas said Thursday morning, questioning whether future gatherings would need to be held at a stadium or other location where attendees would be wanded at security checkpoints.

Interesting quotes from KC’s mayor here. We may have seen the last of large victory parades. Or any huge, unsecured gathering. https://t.co/rOxiAgiTAF
