One person is dead and 22 others were injured after shots were fired near the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade on Wednesday, Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves said in a press conference.
Graves said that the 22 people injured in the shooting ranged between the ages of 8 and 47 years old, half of whom were under the age of 16. A mother of two was also killed.

Following an investigation of the shooting, Graves said that the incident “appeared to be a dispute between several people that died in gun fire,” via NFL Media.
