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]

I'm guessing the Carhart guy and the other guy in the black beanie that the cops/samaritans tackled were minors. They were with the shooter but didn't shoot. You can see them in the TMZ video. The shooter seems to be the guy in the red Chiefs hoodie, who is on video walking away with the jaw shot off guy. [Reply]

Two men were charged with murder and other felony charges for their roles in the mass shooting after a Kansas City Chiefs championship rally last week, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said Tuesday.
Lyndell Mays [22-23 year-old], of Raytown, and Dominic M. Miller [18-19 year-old], of Kansas City, were both charged with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of armed criminal action, the prosecutor’s office said. They are being held on $1 million bond.
According to the investigation, Mays was in a verbal argument with another person that escalated, and Mays then drew a handgun. Almost immediately, Miller and others pulled their firearms, leading to the shootout, Baker said. The two did not know each other before that day, Baker added.
Both defendants have been hospitalized and in custody since the shooting, she said.
Though they were both charged with murder, Miller’s firearm was the one that fatally wounded Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two and local DJ and radio host.
These defendants are separate from the two teenagers who face gun-related and resisting arrest charges and are in secure detention at the Juvenile Detention Center, according to Baker. Additional arrests are possible, Baker said.
The charges come a week after the deadly shooting that left Lopez-Galvan dead and wounded more than 20 others, including nearly a dozen children.
It sounds like the older guy pulled out his pistol, maybe just hoping to scare the kids, and didn't realize he brought a pistol to an AR fight. It's bullshit that he survived with all those shots fired while that poor woman died.
Also this more or less confirms that the other two who were tackled were the minors.
You still have to wonder if some rival gang stuff spurred this on to begin with. [Reply]

There was no intention of killing the person he killed. You could say premeditated in that he was carrying a gun, but Missouri is an open carry state, so it wasn't against the law. I don't see any priors for him, unless they happened when he was a minor. [Reply]
I guess you're in a gang, you never know when some rival gang is going to roll up on you, so if you're exposed out of your home turf you bring firepower (maybe I dunno). So they show up with all that firepower, and dumbass older dude pulls a pistol on them. Awesome stuff. [Reply]

The bullet that killed her came from Miller's gun. Mays was the first to shoot as someone (my guess would be Miller) was running away. If Miller was the person running away, he eventually shot back from within a group of people, and his bullet was the one that killed her. No premeditation. [Reply]

If you listen to the audio on this, the burst of shots comes about 1/4 second after the first shot. So maybe that first shot was the pistol, but it sure didn't take long for the kids with the ARs to fire back. [Reply]
