Weapons & Guns

Dos personas están siendo acusadas con cargos criminales por el tiroteo masivo en Kansas City en medio de las celebraciones por el Super Bowl, y ahora nos estamos enterando de que, por ahora, solo hay dos menores de edad acusados como responsables.

Los fiscales imputaron a dos individuos, descritos como menores de edad, con cargos relacionados con el uso de armas y resistencia a la autoridad, aunque aún no hay nada relacionado con las muertes. Funcionarios de Kansas City dicen que es probable que se vengan más cargos.

Debido a que son menores de edad, las audiencias judiciales y los procedimientos penales relacionados con el caso no estarán abiertos al público. Ambos sospechosos están detenidos en un centro de detención de menores.

Como informamos, 22 personas fueron heridas de bala y una persona murió en el tiroteo del miércoles, que estalló después de que los Chiefs terminaran su desfile por el campeonato. El tiroteo causó pánico y terminó con varias personas hospitalizadas, incluidos niños.

Los policías detuvieron a tres personas en la escena. Sin embargo, solo 2 personas se enfrentan a un proceso penal. No está claro lo que puede haber pasado con la tercera persona que había sido detenida.

Los testigos y las víctimas de los disparos han descrito la caótica escena: un sobreviviente dijo que el pistolero giró en círculos mientras disparaba tiros hacia la gran multitud.

Otro fan de los Chiefs contuvo a una persona armada en la multitud, abordando al tipo en el suelo antes de que la policía llegara por él. No está claro si la persona que fue abordada es uno de los acusados. Se desconoce la identidad de los sospechosos.

La policía ha dicho que los disparos no corresponden a un acto terrorista, en cambio, dicen que fue una disputa entre varias partes que se intensificó con la violencia armada.

Han surgido nuevas imágenes que muestran la tragedia en la escena, incluyendo estas nuevas fotos y videos del fotógrafo Jeremy Scherle que estaba allí el miércoles.

Echa un vistazo a estas fotos que muestran las consecuencias del fatal incidente. Se ve un arma que puede ser la que se utilizó en el tiroteo, por no hablar de los charcos de sangre a su alrededor. Claramente, los oficiales querían resguardar esta escena justo después de que ocurrió y eso es lo que se ve aquí.

De las 22 personas que fueron baleadas y heridas, al menos la mitad son menores de 16 años. Ha habido un montón de preguntas sin respuesta sobre lo que pasó aquí e incluso ahora que hay dos personas consideradas responsables. Todavía no sabemos mucho.

Taylor Swift abrió su billetera para ayudar a la familia de la mujer que fue asesinada durante el tiroteo en Kansas City, desembolsando seis cifras para ella justo antes de comenzar sus shows en Australia.

El jueves se había creado un GoFundMe para Elizabeth "Lisa" López-Galván, en concreto, para ayudar a sus seres queridos a crear un monumento para ella, así como asistencia financiera en general. Ella dejó a su marido y dos hijos y el objetivo fue fijado en $75.000.

Taylor aportó un total de $100.000 solo de su bolsillo, que llegó en forma de dos contribuciones diferentes de $50k cada una, que ella puso a su nombre.

También dejó una dulce nota junto a sus donaciones que decía: "Mi más sentido pésame por su devastadora pérdida. Con amor, Taylor Swift".

Las ofrendas en efectivo se realizaron en la noche, justo antes del primer concierto de Taylor en Melbourne. Ella ha pasado un par de días allá para prepararse para una serie de conciertos como parte de su gira "Eras". Taylor no se refirió al tiroteo durante su actuación.

Pero esta donación dice mucho y deja claro que está muy consciente de lo que pasó.

Taylor Swift opened up her wallet to help the family of the woman who was killed during the Kansas City parade shooting -- forking out six figures as she started her Australia shows.

A GoFundMe had been set up Thursday for Elizabeth "Lisa" Lopez-Galvan -- specifically, to assist her loved ones in setting up a proper memorial for her, as well as general financial assistance. She left behind a husband and two kids ... and the goal set was $75,000.

Taylor gave an assist and then some -- chipping in a total of $100,000 just from herself alone -- which came in the form of two different $50k contributions, which she put in her name.

She also left a sweet note along with her donations, writing ... "Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift."

The cash offerings generated overnight, just ahead of Taylor's first concert in Melbourne -- where she's been the past couple days to prepare for a string of shows there as her "Eras" tour ramps up again. Taylor did not address the shooting during her performance.

Still, this donation speaks volumes ... and makes clear, she's well aware of what happened.

Travis Kelce and Brittany Mahomes showed up in the same photograph that shows exactly who was in attendance for the private dinner after the Kansas City shooting this week.

Chiefs tight end Matt Bushman's wife, Emily, proudly posted the pic Thursday on her social media account -- owning the fact that she and her hubby were among the people there ... which, as it turns out, was a lot smaller than anyone previously thought.

Emily included the snap as part of a collage of photos she uploaded -- which showed her and Matt enjoying the parade earlier in the day ... and eventually landing at the Granfalloon.

She wrote in her caption, "Yesterday was tough. Not going to allow evil to take away all the happiness and memories of the day. The team and city deserved to celebrate and what a fun parade we had!"

Emily goes on to say ... "I’ll never forget the chaos and fear that followed the parade. Our family will be continuing to pray for the victims of the shooting. We love KC!"

In her picture, you can see Matt, Travis, Brittany, fellow Chiefs teammates Creed Humphrey, Tommy Townsend and some others were in the mix as well. All in all, about 14 people.

No sign of Patrick in this photo -- although we know he was among the people there -- and presumably ... he's the one handling camera duties here. Neither he nor Travis have addressed the fact they were at the restaurant and continued on with their plan to celebrate.

Just about all the Chiefs players, however, expressed their condolences in the wake of the shooting.

New video of the Kansas City shooting shows some of the injured children trying to escape the horrific scene -- and we've learned new info about what sort of weapon police believe the shooter used.

TMZ obtained this never-before-seen footage ... a new angle of Wednesday's shooting as the Chiefs Super Bowl celebration wrapped, and now you can see exactly where the shooting started ... and how the injured -- including a handful of kids -- reacted.

Police have said 9 minors were among the 23 victims who suffered gunshot wounds yesterday, and here you can see a few of them hobbling away -- but heroically, also helping each other -- immediately after the barrage of gunfire outside Union Station.

You can also hear someone yelling, "It's fireworks!" -- a mistake several witnesses have said people were making amid the chaos and confusion immediately following the shots.

Remember, cops have come out and said this didn't appear to be a terroristic act, but rather, a possible dispute between parties ... which killed at least one person.

As for the investigation ... cops have only said they have 3 persons of interest in custody, and 2 of them are juveniles -- but our sources, with direct knowledge of the investigation, say cops also know there were an estimated 40 shots discharged on the scene.

We're also told cops recovered at least 3 weapons -- one of them is an AR-style pistol, and 2 others are handguns with extended magazines. It's unclear if all those weapons were fired during the shooting.

Our sources say cops believe the violence was set off by a confrontation between 2 males and one female -- and it's possible there was more than one person who opened fire in the dense crowd.

As of now, no one's been charged in the mass shooting ... and we're told the 3 persons of interest are being held in separate jails while police question them and gather more information.

Time will tell if/when more info comes to light ... but for now, we have this intel.

BTW, vigils are going on in Kansas City Thursday night to honor the victims of the shooting -- and a lot of public officials are out there ... as are citizens to pay their respects, as well as to send their prayers.

Un nuevo video del tiroteo en Kansas City muestra a algunos de los niños heridos tratando de escapar del lugar y junto con eso hemos averiguado nueva información sobre el tipo de arma que la policía cree que utilizó el tirador.

TMZ obtuvo este material, que es un nuevo ángulo del tiroteo ocurrido el miércoles en medio de la celebración del Super Bowl de los Chiefs, y ahora se sabe exactamente dónde comenzó el tiroteo y cómo reaccionaron los heridos, incluyendo un puñado de niños.

La policía ha dicho que 9 menores estaban entre las 23 víctimas que sufrieron heridas de bala, y en este video se puede ver incluso a algunos de ellos cojeando, pero heroicamente y ayudándose unos con otros. Esto ocurrió inmediatamente después de que estallaran los disparos afuera de Union Station.

También se puede escuchar a alguien gritando: "¡Son fuegos artificiales!", un error que varios testigos escucharon a la gente decir en medio del caos y la confusión después del tiroteo.

Recuerden, los policías han dicho que esto no parece ser un acto terrorista, sino más bien una posible disputa entre las partes que terminó cobrando la vida de una persona.

En cuanto a la investigación, los policías solo han dicho que tienen a tres personas de interés en custodia. Dos de ellas son menores de edad, pero nuestras fuentes, quienes tienen conocimiento directo de la investigación, dicen que los policías también saben que se efectuaron alrededor de 40 disparos en la escena.

También nos han dicho que la policía recuperó al menos tres armas: una de ellas era una pistola AR y otras dos contaban con cargadores de gran capacidad. No está claro si todas esas armas fueron disparadas durante el tiroteo.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que la policía cree que la violencia fue provocada por un enfrentamiento entre dos hombres y una mujer, y es posible que hubiera más de una persona abriendo el fuego entre la densa multitud.

Por ahora, nadie ha sido acusado y nos dicen que las 3 personas de interés están detenidas en cárceles separadas, mientras la policía los interroga y reúne más información.

El tiempo dirá si sale más información a la luz, por ahora, contamos con esto.

Por cierto, se realizaron varias vigilias en Kansas City el jueves por la noche para honrar a las víctimas del tiroteo. Un montón de funcionarios públicos estuvieron ahí, al igual que los ciudadanos quienes quisieron presentar sus respetos y enviar sus oraciones.

Uno de los aficionados de los Chiefs que estuvo en el tiroteo masivo, dice que el pistolero abrió fuego en medio de una multitud, girando alrededor mientras mantenía un dedo en el gatillo.

Jacob Gooch Sr. -un fan de los Chiefs de Kansas- fue una de las 23 personas alcanzadas por los disparos y se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live" el Jueves para contarnos acerca de su experiencia desgarradora.

Jacob dice que alguien en la multitud le estaba diciendo al tirador, "Ahora no, este no es el lugar" momentos antes de que los disparos comenzaron a sonar. Dice que sus hijas vieron al tirador sacando una pistola y disparar mientras giraba en círculo.

El tiroteo fue capturado en el video de vigilancia y Jacob dice que puede verse a sí mismo en el suelo mientras cunde el pánico y la multitud comienzan a correr para cubrirse.

Al principio, Jacob dice que pensó que los fuertes ruidos eran fuegos artificiales, hasta que miró hacia abajo y vio humo que salía de una herida de bala de su tobillo. También dice que su hijo recibió un disparo en el pie y su esposa recibió un disparo en la pierna.

La policía dice que el tiroteo no parece haber sido un acto de terrorismo, en cambio, las autoridades creen que una disputa entre varios grupos se intensificó hasta llegar a los disparos.

One of the Chiefs fans hit with bullets at the Super Bowl parade mass shooting says the gunman opened fire in the middle of a crowd ... spinning around as he kept a finger on the trigger.

Jacob Gooch Sr., a Chiefs fan from Kansas, was among the 23 people struck by gunfire ... and he joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday to tell us about his harrowing experience.

Jacob says someone in the crowd was telling the shooter, "Not now, this isn't the place" moments before gunshots started ringing out. He says his daughters saw the shooter pull out a gun and fire shots as he spun around in a circle.

The shooting was captured on surveillance video and Jacob says he can see himself on the ground as panic ensues and people in the crowd start running for cover.

At first, Jacob says he thought the loud noises were fireworks, not gunshots ... until he looked down and saw smoke coming out from a gunshot wound to his ankle. He also says his son was shot in the foot and his wife was shot in the leg.

Cops say the shooting does not appear to have been an act of terrorism ... instead, authorities believe a dispute between multiple groups escalated to gunfire.

The KC Chiefs fan who tackled an armed suspect at the parade shooting says he didn't think twice about going after him ... and the guy apparently had a big gun on him.

Paul Contreras is the person on video tackling one of the people who got detained Wednesday -- and he joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday to tell us how he ended up being hailed a hero.

It all happened super fast ... Paul says folks were yelling at the crowd to tackle an individual who was running the opposite direction of everyone else. He had an angle on the guy and he says his instincts kicked in and he went out and pounced.

Paul tells us he was wrestling the man to the ground when he noticed a large firearm hit the deck. As others fled for their lives, Paul says he fought for his ... wrestling with the guy and trying like hell to keep him pinned until police came and eventually handled the rest.

Cops say there are at least 3 people in custody in connection with the deadly mass shooting -- but none of them have been arrested or booked on any charges as far as we know.

Paul, a Chiefs fan from Nebraska, was at the Super Bowl victory parade with his 3 daughters ... one of whom tells us she helped keep the gun away from the shooter once the weapon was on the ground. That seems to be who we see pick up the gun in the now-viral clip.

Cops say the shooting does not appear to have been an act of terrorism ... instead, authorities believe it was a dispute between multiple parties that escalated.

Police say 23 people were shot and one person died.

Travis Kelce solo estaba jugando a seguir al líder cuando entró a un restaurante para seguir celebrando después del tiroteo de Kansas City, porque ahora sabemos que Patrick Mahomes planeó todo el asunto, y también estaba ahí.

Múltiples fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que la reunión en el Granfalloon Restaurant And Bar el miércoles por la noche fue encabezada por el quarterback de los Chiefs y según nuestras fuentes, tuvo la idea poco después de la victoria en el Super Bowl.

Nos dicen que Pat fue el que alquiló el lugar y había policías para controlar a la multitud. Travis accedió cuando varios policías le pidieron selfies.

Mientras que solo tenemos fotos de Travis en el establecimiento horas después del tiroteo, nuestras fuentes nos dicen Patrick también estuvo presente, al igual que otros jugadores de los Chiefs.

No está claro quién más estaba allí en el Granfalloon, pero hablamos con el dueño del restaurante y dijo que algunos otros jugadores habían ingresado y que era un evento privado. No está claro exactamente lo que los chicos estaban haciendo en el interior... presumiblemente comer, beber, etc.

La pregunta es... ¿Por qué Pat, Travis y otros compañeros de equipo estaban en público y pasándola bien después de una tragedia masiva?

Es algo que muchos se han estado preguntando desde que publicamos la historia de Travis asistiendo a esta fiesta con una cerveza en la mano.

Como hemos informado, el tiroteo dejó a una persona muerta y otros 22 heridos de bala. La policía ha dicho que esto no parecía ser un ataque terrorista, sino más bien una disputa entre fanáticos.

Ahora que sabemos que Patrick estuvo en la fiesta, nos preguntamos en qué estaban pensando al seguir adelante con la fiesta, sobre todo porque todos eran muy conscientes de los disparos.

Travis Kelce was only playing follow-the-leader when he walked into a restaurant to keep on celebrating after the Kansas City shooting -- 'cause we've now learned Patrick Mahomes planned the whole thing, and was there as well.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell us the get-together at the Granfalloon Restaurant And Bar in K.C. Wednesday evening was actually spearheaded by the Chiefs QB -- and, according to our sources, he had the idea shortly after the Super Bowl win.

We're told Pat was the one who rented the place out. Cops were on hand for crowd control. Travis obliged when several cops asked him for selfies.

While we only got pics of Travis rolling into the establishment hours after the shooting ... our sources tell us Patrick was also in attendance, as were other Chiefs players.

Unclear who else was there at the Granfalloon -- but we spoke to the restaurant owner ... and he said a few other players had rolled in, and that it was a private event. Unclear exactly what the guys were doing inside -- presumably, eating, drinking, etc.

The question, of course ... why would Pat, Travis and other teammates go out in public and keep their good time rolling after a massive tragedy?

It's something many have been wondering since we broke the story of Travis attending this gathering ... with a beer in hand.

As we reported ... the shooting left one person dead, and 22 others injured with gunshot wounds. Cops have said this didn't appear to be a terror attack -- but rather a dispute between parties.

Now that we're learning Patrick was in the mix for this party -- it makes ya wonder what sort of thought process went into their decision to go through with the party ... especially since they were all well aware of the shooting.

La policía dice que el tiroteo en el desfile del Super Bowl del miércoles no parece haber sido un acto de terrorismo, en cambio, las autoridades creen que fue simplemente una disputa entre varias partes que se intensificó.

El Jefe del Departamento de Policía de Kansas City Stacey Graves, hizo la revelación en una conferencia de prensa el jueves por la mañana, explicando que no han obtenido ninguna evidencia que demuestre que el tiroteo fue premeditado.

"Esto parecía ser una disputa entre varias personas que terminó en disparos", dijo.

Graves también reveló que 23 personas en total fueron alcanzadas por las balas durante el incidente. Se ha confirmado la muerte de una de ellas, Elizabeth Galvan, de 43 años. Otros ocho se encuentran actualmente en estado crítico.

Graves también dijo que de las 22 víctimas que todavía están luchando para recuperarse, al menos la mitad eran menores de 16 años de edad. La más joven de las víctimas, dijo, tenía 8 años.

Dos de las personas detenidas en relación con el tiroteo son menores de edad, agregó Graves.

Como informamos anteriormente, los disparos estallaron pocos minutos después de que Patrick Mahomes y Travis Kelce concluyeran sus discursos en un mitin tras recorrer en autobús las calles de Kansas City.

Cops say the shooting at Wednesday's Super Bowl parade does not appear to have been an act of terrorism ... instead, authorities believe it was simply a dispute between multiple parties that escalated.

Kansas City Police Department Chief Stacey Graves made the revelation at a news conference with reporters Thursday morning ... explaining detectives have obtained no evidence that shows the gunfire at Union Station was a planned attack.

"This appeared to be a dispute between several people that ended in gunfire," she said.

Graves also revealed that 23 people in total were struck by bullets during the incident. One, 43-year-old Elizabeth "Lisa" Lopez-Galvan, has been confirmed dead. Eight others, law enforcement added at the news conference, are currently in critical condition.

Graves also said that of the 22 victims who are still fighting to recover ... at least half were under the age of 16 years old. The youngest of the victims, she said, was 8 years old.

Two of the people detained in connection with the shooting are juveniles, Graves added.

As we previously reported, the gunshots erupted just minutes after Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce wrapped up speeches at a rally following bus rides through Kansas City streets.

Jackson Mahomes was caught up in the chaos during the Kansas City parade shooting -- at least according to one eyewitness ... who says she saw him going above and beyond.

A woman named Jess revealed on X Wednesday that Patrick Mahomes' little brother had actually stuck around in the aftermath of the Chiefs parade -- and was apparently on the scene when shots rang out and people started panicking.

She writes, "I don’t care what anyone says but I have found a new found respect for Jackson Mahomes, Ana and I were stuck hiding with him at union station by the trains and he was taking care of a child who lost his parents and helping him calm down."

Her tweet has since gone viral ... and while she didn't elaborate beyond that, the story about Jackson is being praised and shared -- with many expressing shock Jackson was there.

The Chiefs players/staff had already left by the time gunfire erupted ... so it's shocking to hear JM may have still been around. According to Jess ... not only was he on the scene, but he was helping others -- including the most vulnerable people who were scared/distressed.

What Jess goes on to describe about the moment is absolutely horrifying -- and if she's saying Jackson was right there with her ... then he was experiencing the exact same thing.

She says, "We heard pops and then we saw everyone rushing running crying headed towards where I was standing in panic and we had to jump over the gates by the stage and entrance of union station running for our lives in union station hearing gunshots seeing people HIDING IN OVENS!"

The Chiefs org itself said afterward that all players, coaches and staff members were safe and accounted for -- but on its face, it doesn't sound like that applied to Jackson ... that is, if what this eyewitness is describing is accurate ... though, she seems quite sure.

As we reported ... at least one person was left dead from the shooting, and 22 other suffered gunshot wounds of varying degrees. A few people were detained, but no arrests have been announced just yet ... and police say they're still investigating what exactly happened.

Video of a man being tackled by bystanders appears to show someone picking up a rifle of some sort and tossing it aside -- although, it's unclear what the motive for the shooting was.

The most tragic part about this is that several of the victims are children, nearly a dozen.

Un nuevo video muestra el momento en que se inicia el horrible tiroteo en la celebración de los Kansas City por su victoria en el Super Bowl, y este metraje muestra gráficamente cuando algunas personas heridas caen al suelo y la multitud se dispersa.

El video es de la cámara de vigilancia de un apartamento cercano. En este se ve a la multitud dando vueltas después de que termina el desfile hasta que de repente se escucha una ráfaga de disparos sonando.

Además de registrar a varias personas cayendo al suelo, presumiblemente heridas, se puede ver dónde se disparó el arma en función de hacia dónde se dispersa la multitud.

También se ve a los policías corriendo a la zona donde el pistolero inició el fuego.

Como informamos, un hombre que recibió un disparo dice que su esposa y su hija escucharon a una mujer diciéndole a un hombre en la multitud "no lo hagas. No aquí. Esto es estúpido", poco antes de que se escucharan los disparos.

Varios asistentes al desfile abordaron a un hombre armado poco después del tiroteo. La policía se abalanzó sobre él y lo detuvo. Al menos tres personas han sido detenidas en relación con el ataque.

New video shows the horrific shooting at the Kansas City Super Bowl parade ... and this footage graphically shows injured people falling to the ground and the crowd scattering.

The video is from a nearby apartment surveillance camera. You see the crowd milling around after the parade ended, and then suddenly a flurry of shots ring out.

As several people fall to the ground, presumably injured, you see where the gun was fired based on where the crowd disburses.

You also see cops rushing toward the area where the gunman appears to have fired.

As we reported, a man who was shot says his wife and daughter heard a woman tell a man in the crowd, "Don't do it. Not here. This is stupid," shortly before shots rang out.

Several parade-goers tackled a man carrying a gun shortly after the shooting. Police swooped in and took him into custody. At least 3 people have been detained in connection to the shooting.
