Xitter is being it's usual Xitty self. Currently questioning how the FBI got there so fast.
1) they are usually onsite for large events like this (for reasons just exhibited)
2) the nearest field office is less than 2 miles away

Police Chief said there will be updates on the tweet thing. I don’t have that so, you could probably get more accurate info there.
Also noticed there’s already a Wiki for it.

One Dead and at Least 30 Hurt in Shooting at Super Bowl Celebration
At least 18 of the injured people had gunshot wounds, hospital officials said. Two armed people were detained, the police said.
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/02/14 ... ng-updates
A shooting near Kansas City’s Union Station on Wednesday left one person dead and at least 22 with gunshot wounds, turning a Super Bowl victory celebration into a scene of chaos as thousands of fans in red jerseys ran for safety.
Three people had been detained, the Kansas City police chief said at a news conference, adding that investigators had not identified a motive. She asked the public to provide any video or other information that could help the authorities determine what had happened.
Here’s what else to know:
Chief Stacey Graves of the Kansas City Police Department said one person was dead, and that investigators were still working to determine exactly how many people had been injured. At least two of the people in custody had been armed, the police said, and a third person had also been detained, the chief said.
Twelve people were taken to University Health, formerly Truman Medical Center, said Keith King, a hospital spokesman. Eight of them were being treated for gunshot wounds, he said, including two in critical condition. And one victim with a gunshot wound was in critical condition at Saint Luke’s Hospital, said Laurel Gifford, a hospital spokeswoman. Three other people walked in with injuries.
Children’s Mercy is treating 12 patients who attended the rally, Lisa Augustine, a hospital spokeswoman said. Of those 12 patients, 11 are children. Nine of the injured have gunshot wounds, Ms. Augustine said.

Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a Johnson County mother of two and beloved disc jockey in Kansas City, was confirmed killed in the shooting at the end of the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade celebration Wednesday.
Police, as of a 5:30 p.m. press conference, only confirmed one death, making it unclear whether Lopez-Galvan is that individual or a another. An earlier version of this story had said that Lopez-Galvan was believed confirmed as a second victim.
Friends confirmed the death to The Star after talking to family. Lopez-Galvan is reported to have died during surgery at a hospital from a gunshot wound to her abdomen Wednesday afternoon.

It was just like any other Tuesday night. Lisa Lopez-Galvan was on air for her weekly radio show, “A Taste of Tejano,” sharing her love of music with her local community. The program features Tejano music, a “Tex-Mex” fusion of Mexican and American musical influences.
“Let us know if you have a birthday, anniversary or special announcement!” Lopez-Galvan wrote before her show, as she often did.
Once the show was over, she and her co-host, Tommy Andrade, parted ways — not knowing that it would be their last time together.
Lopez-Galvan’s life was cut short Wednesday afternoon, when a shooting took place at a rally after a parade marking the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl win, transforming a moment of joy and celebration into one of pain and loss.

That is taken from the opening number for the musical Li'l Abner. We performed it my junior year of high school, and I sang the opening solo (first four lines). Anytime someone says it's a typical day (or similar) that pops immediately to mind. For the rest of the day.

Teenagers and guns are a bad mix.Stacey Graves, the city’s police chief, said there was no indication that the shooting was connected to terrorism. At least 21 people were wounded, in addition to the woman who died, and they ranged in age from 8 to 47 years old, Chief Graves said. At least half of the wounded were younger than 16. The woman who died was identified as Elizabeth Galvan, 43.
The authorities have said that three people were detained in connection to the shooting on Wednesday afternoon. Two of them, the police said, were younger than 18. No charges have been filed.
