Police assert that the Kansas City shooting was neither an act of terrorism nor homegrown violence.

On February 14th, a Super Bowl victory parade in Kansas City, Missouri erupted in panic after gunshots were fired near the Kansas City Chiefs' celebration. The celebration was supposed to signify unity through the love of the sport, however, it unexpectedly ended in a horror scene leaving victims, attendees, and the entire nation in shock.

Kansas City Chief of Police, Stacey Graves revealed in a press briefing, that the shooting was neither an act of domestic violence nor a terror attack. Graves stated, "This appeared to be a dispute between several people that ended in gun violence." Surprisingly, three suspects were quickly detained after the shooting. But who were these individuals? And what were their motives behind such a heinous act?

The shooting, which saw one person dead and at least 22 others injured, occurred after the conclusion of the Chiefs' Super Bowl victory celebration over the San Francisco 49ers. A variety of victims, ranging from 8 to 47-years old, were reported. Among the victims was 43-year-old Elizabeth Galvan, a local radio station DJ, and a mother of two, who tragically lost her life in the incident.

This tragic event has been described as a 'senseless act' which took a beautiful person from her family and the Kansas City community. City officials responsible for ensuring security, uttered their disappointment and anger towards the catastrophe.

The scenes following the shooting were chilling. Witnesses saw people fleeing for their lives as chaos overtook what was intended to be a joyous occasion. Children's Mercy Hospital admitted 12 patients from the rally, including 11 children, nine suffering from gunshot wounds. We're now left asking ourselves - how can we ensure such an incident never repeats itself? What made a day of celebration turn to a day of mourning?
