Tight-lipped KC cops claim shooting that left one dead and 21 others injured - including NINE kids - was NOT targeted - as hero who took down gunman armed with high-caliber rifle speaks out
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Kansas City police have refused to rule out terrorism in the Kansas City parade shooting that injured 21, despite images showing a assault rifle at the scene.

Pictures taken at the scene show the rifle perched beside a backpack following the deadly shooting that claimed the life of one person on Wednesday.

Gunmen opened fire moments after the Kansas City Chiefs left the stage on what should have been a triumphant day for the city following their Super Bowl win.

Footage taken at the scene captured the moment the individual with the assault rifle was apprehended by a Chiefs fan. As the man is pinned to the ground, a woman can be seen grabbing the weapon and moving it away.

Those two individuals have since been identified as couple Trey and Casey Filter, who had been watching the parade with their kids when the mayhem unfolded.

As well as the Filter family, 46-year-old Paul Contreras recalled the adrenaline-fueled encounter he had when he jumped on one of the three detained gunmen.

Contreras, who attended the event with his daughter Alyssa, was caught on film by his daughter as he launched himself at the suspect.

Law enforcement officials briefed on the case told NBC that they believe the shooting is criminal in nature, but is not believed to be linked to terrorism.
Lots of photos, quotes from the heroes, even photos of men who might possbly be the shooters.

#6 One of the paid media motive deflectors will try that story.

Much easier than a foux paleostinian illegal alien tranny using a child as a shield, her child, to shoot up a church.

Wow; that typed out has more calories than Woopi's dessert tray at a Golden Corral.

#8 From Skidmark’s Daily Mail link:

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said over 800 law enforcement officers were stationed around the parade, and Gooch said he and his family's safety barely crossed their minds as they headed for the family event.

'(It was) just a bunch of happy people,' he said - before adding that he ominously grew fearful around 15 minutes before the shooting began.

'I got suspicious of a certain group of people that were there,' he said.

'We were standing on the side of the stage where the shooting ended up happening, and right before it ended up happening, there was this group dressed in all black.

'It was about four, five, six kids, or they looked like kids, with black on, black masks, and they disappeared into the crowd.'

And an update from my Yahoo link, above:

Police say 'dispute between several people' led to gunfire at Chiefs Super Bowl parade: 3 people, including 2 juveniles, were detained in connection with the shooting near Union Station that left 22 injured, police say.

Yahoo has the same witness account about the idiot suddenly shooting while spinning in a circle.
