KANSAS CITY, Missouri - Two teenagers are in custody after a shooting that tore through the city's Super Bowl celebration in which one person was killed and nearly two dozen others wounded, in what appeared to be the result of an argument.
Police chief Stacey Graves said at least 22 people were wounded in the shooting on Feb 14, in addition to the person who died, and that the victims ranged in age from eight to 47. At least half of the wounded were younger than 16.
Police said they had taken three young people into custody but released one of them after determining that the person was not involved. Police spokeswoman Alayna Gonzalez on Feb 15 said investigators were working with juvenile court prosecutors to "determine applicable charges" against the two teenagers.
The person who died was identified as Ms Elizabeth Galvan, 43, a local DJ who was also known as Ms Lisa Lopez-Galvan. A friend described her as a passionate fan of the city's football team who was deeply involved in civic events and hosted a radio show.
The police chief said there was no indication that the shooters were motivated by terrorism or extremism, saying instead that the deadly gunfire appeared to have stemmed from some kind of conflict between several people.
"I'm angered about what occurred in our city," Major Graves said.
