Both Kansas and Missouri governors were at the scene of the shooting
The governors of both Kansas and Missouri were at today's Chiefs parade and said they were safely evacuated after the shooting."At the end of the Chiefs rally, shots were fired near Union Station. I have been evacuated and am out of harm’s way," Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said on X. "I encourage everyone to follow instructions and updates from @kcpolice. Please stay safe."
A post on Missouri Gov. Mike Parson's X account said he and the first lady were there when shots were fired, but both are now "safe and secure."

Terrible news. I wonder if it was planned or just an altercation between two people that turned deadly.
NBC is reporting
The shooting appears to be criminal in nature and not terrorism, according to an early and preliminary investigation, three law enforcement officials briefed on the incident said.
Other people reported shots a few blocks away from Union Station 10-15 min before the gunfire started at Union Station. Might be a criminal event that spilled over into the Parade.

Over 1000 people could get killed at an unbelievable mass shooting event and Republicans would still feel helpless to do anything about preventing more in the future, due to their faithfulness to the 2nd Amendment, like the part of it where it reads, "The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” They would simply say that around 40,000 people are killed in car accidents every year, yet nobody talks of banning sales of cars because of it. Like guns, cars don't kill people, either.
Lets send our continued thanks to these people for sacrificing themselves to protect the 1 single amendment that about 40% of this country can name (or care about). I can't wait for absolutely nothing to change, and for this story to fade away in about 2 days.
