The police are looking for the motive of the attack
Police are trying to determine who opened fire and what motivated the shooting that killed one woman and injured more than 20 people at the end of the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade, sending red-shirted fans running to escape the gunfire or tend to others on the ground as police swarmed the area.

As the investigation continues, many unanswered questions remain: how many people opened fire during the event, how many shots were fired and what motivated the violence that turned a day of celebration into tragedy.
“I’m angry about what happened today,” Kansas City’s police chief said Wednesday. “People who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment.”
Police are collecting photos and videos, interviewing witnesses and asking victims questions, Graves said. The FBI is also involved in the investigation.
In fact, they have also created a website and are asking anyone with digital evidence that could help in the arrest of this unimaginable tragedy to send it to the website.
“We have a lot of work ahead of us, this is only the initial stage but we are moving as fast as we can,” he said.

The incident was the 48th mass shooting in the United States this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
Authorities are still working to determine the total number of victims, Graves said Wednesday. CNN spoke to four hospitals that received a total of 29 patients from the shooting, 19 of whom had gunshot wounds.
Children’s Mercy Hospital admitted 11 children between the ages of 6 and 15 from the shooting scene, 9 of whom were shot, according to hospital spokeswoman Lisa Augustine.
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said the shootings “will not be forgotten.”
A few hours after the brutal attack, US President Joe Biden issued a statement expressing his sadness and once again emphasizing the need for tougher measures to limit gun ownership.
According to newsit, Joe Biden condemned the incident through a statement issued by the White House.
“It is time to act. There I stand. And I ask the country to stand with me. To make your voice heard in Congress so we can finally act to ban firearms, limit high capacity magazines, strengthen background checks, keep guns out of the hands of those who have no business owning them or manipulate them,” Biden said in a statement released by the White House.
“To have that joy turn into tragedy today in Kansas City cuts deep into the American soul. Today’s events should move us, shock us, shame us into acting. What are we waiting for? What else should we see? How many more families must be broken up?’
