KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Authorities in Kansas City said Thursday that the mass shooting that left one person dead and 22 injured at thePolice Chief Stacey Graves said Thursday that the total number of victims is 23, including Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who was killed in the shooting. 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.
"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. People had lined the parade route before the shooting, with fans climbing trees and street poles or standing on rooftops for a better view. Players rolled through the crowd on double-decker buses as DJs and drummers heralded their arrival.
"The law enforcement response was exemplary. Those in attendance also responded," Graves added."They helped one another and even physically a person who was believed to be involved in the incident."Some people didn't run at first, but others immediately scrambled for cover. The rally music initially continued playing despite the havoc. And then, within moments of the shooting stopping, some people were walking as if nothing happened.
Filter said he and another man kept the person pinned until officers arrived."I remember the officers pulling my feet off of him, and at that point I was just looking for my wife and kids," he said. Lopez-Galvan, whose DJ name was"Lisa G," was an extrovert and a devoted mother of two from a prominent Latino family in the area, said Rosa Izurieta and Martha Ramirez, two childhood friends who worked with her at a staffing company.
