A Kansas City shooting killed KKFI DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan and injured 21 more, including kids, near the KC Chiefs 2024 Super Bowl parade.Police are working to determine who opened fire and what motivated a shooting that killed one and wounded more than 20 others at the end of the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory rally, sending fans clad in red jerseys running, taking cover or tending to others on the ground as law enforcement swarmed the area, confetti still blowing in the wind.
As the investigation gets underway, several unanswered questions remain: how many people opened fire during the event, how many shots were fired and what motivated the violence that turned a day of celebration into a tragedy. "I am angry at what happened today," the Kansas City police chief said Wednesday. "The people who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment."

CNN spoke with four hospitals that together received 29 patients from the shooting, 19 of them with gunshot wounds. Contreras said he hit the person from behind and tackled him, knocking a gun to the ground in the process.
