Police confirm three people arrested after one killed and at least 21 injured in attack during Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade
Video footage has emerged that shows bystanders tackling a suspected gunman in the Super Bowl victory parade shooting, in which a local radio DJ was killed and at least 21 others were injured, including 11 children.
Police confirmed three people were arrested in connection with the shooting, which took place as the celebration for the Kansas City Chiefs was wrapping up near Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri.
Trey Filter, a Chiefs fan from Wichita, ran and tackled one of the suspected gunmen who appeared to be fleeing the scene. Filter knocked the man to the ground before another man joined to help him pin the suspect.
Filter’s wife, Casey, then picked up an assault-style weapon from the ground and moved it out of harm’s way.
“It was fight or flight,” Casey told News Nation’s Christopher Cuomo of her and her husband’s response.
“I turn, I see a flash, and I think to myself, ‘I hope that’s him,’” said Trey Filter. “All I recall was barely seeing the guy. And I couldn’t believe I caught him.”
“I was just yelling, ‘F your gun!’ and I was just hitting him in his ribs. It was great. You know, America stuff,” Trey Filter told the New York Post.
“I didn’t expect to just have it at my feet,” Casey Filter said of the gun. “I just saw it and just moved it.”
Police could not confirm that the suspect was one of the arrested but were seeking to connect the dots. “We do have three persons detained and under investigation for today’s incident,” the city’s chief of police, Stacey Graves, told a press conference. “We are working to determine if one of the three are the one that was in that video, where fans assisted police.”
Graves added that “bad actors” were responsible for the violence as officials said they did not currently suspect a terrorist attack.
The community radio station KKFI said Lisa Lopez-Galvan, of Johnson county, was killed in the shooting.
