shooting investigation continues with 2 teens charged.



Kansas City continued mourning after a mass shooting at the Chiefs Super Bowl victory rally left a mother of two dead and injured more than 20 others – including children – as investigators worked to figure out exactly how the violence unfolded.

Authorities on Friday said two teenagers would face charges connected to the deadly shooting on the west side of Union Station that sent frightened Chiefs fans running for cover following the parade that an estimated 1 million  people attended on Wednesday.


 The suspected juveniles, Kansas City police chief Stacey Graves said on Friday, “hurt innocent people” while “simultaneously scarring an entire community” after a joyous afternoon was transformed into one of panic and fear as gunfire was mistaken for fireworks. 


This week, the Kansas City Chiefs – some of whom were still on the stage after the rally ended and the sounds of bullets pierced the air – embraced the still-reeling community, giving back through emergency funds for victims and families and visiting injured children in the hospital.


 Meanwhile, investigators, who recovered multiple guns from the scene, continue to piece together what unfolded Wednesday and say analyzing recovered bullets will help determine which gun was responsible for the death and injuries, a law enforcement source said  on Friday.
