Just like #ChiefsKingdom has always been there for me and my family, we want to be there for them.❤️
The @Chiefs have launched #KCStrong, an emergency response fund supporting victims and their families, violence prevention and mental health services, and first responders.… pic.twitter.com/sYMnPgCWL0
Friendly mod reminder, this thread is about yesterday's shooting. Not about gun control, gun laws, politics, or anything of that nature. If you need everyone to know what's wrong in this world and how you'd fix it, grab your megaphone and soapbox and take it to DC, thanks. [Reply]

Might be a touch too soon, but I agree with the sentiment. [Reply]
"Wednesday’s mass shooting that left at least one dead and 30 injured in Kansas City, Missouri, after the Chiefs Super Bowl celebration is believed to have been the result of a personal dispute in the area, rather than an attack on the celebration itself, according to several law enforcement officials."

From the other eyewitness, once the teenager started shooting the other guy fired back with a handgun. It probably appeared the teenager was spinning as he shot then spun and started running away. [Reply]

Correct, this was all known late afternoon. I wonder why the National media and sports shows this morning didn't run with this known narrative? [Reply]
Media will lose interest in this immediately once they can no longer ride the seemingly premeditated mass shooting ratings wave.
Also curious that no major outlets have shown photos of suspects, while we know the name, address, social security number and life details when it's an intentional mass shooting.
I know there are details to sort out and this one is sticky, but media in this country is dead and now only exists to feed the advertising machine. [Reply]

My only problem with that is the weapon involved. If you're just some gangbanger going about your business, I would think your weapon of choice for the day probably isn't going to be an AR pistol modded for fully automatic fire. That guy was looking for trouble. [Reply]
you have to understand that even gang bangers panic when they fire a gun especially in that circumstance. A fully automatic gun to someone not trained would be really inaccurate as well. Add in if it was shot through a backpack then thats even worse. its just two really stupid groups of people who have no care for anything else other then gang banging and acting tough. [Reply]

Something probably was said, they got pissed off went back to their car grabbed what they had came back and found them. [Reply]

2 Degrees of Separation here from me, but I've been hearing since last night from a friend who's brother is KCPD who was one of the guys running in there when shots were fired that gang related is 'highly probable'.
Again, this is brother of a friend, so very far from the primary source, but I trust it for what it's worth. [Reply]

I've never fired a gun while someone was holding me back so hard to say if that may have contributed [Reply]
