Officials say shooting sprouted from ‘personal dispute’

Several law enforcement officials believe that a personal dispute in the area, rather than an attack on the celebration itself, is what led to the mass shooting that occurred in Kansas City, Missouri on Wednesday after the Chiefs Super Bowl celebration, leaving at least one dead and thirty injured.

According to one of those officers, 10 people were first questioned and the three individuals who are under arrest right now are all thought to have been involved in the dispute, per CNN.

It’s unknown what happened to the other seven people that were questioned.

Chiefs fan tackles possible suspect

Social media users seem to have captured the moment that a few Kansas City Chiefs supporters shoved someone to the ground, causing the crowd to flee in fear.

One person can be seen sprinting to the right, and then two men are seen bringing the other person to the ground and lying on top of them, one of them signaling for aid. A few seconds later, there are two policemen there.

At a press conference, Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves stated that investigators were looking into whether the guy being tackled in the video was a suspect.

“I do want to comment on the question that I got earlier about a video of some fans tackling someone. We do have three persons detained and under investigation for today’s incident. We are working to determine if one of the three are the one that was in that video where fans assisted police,” she said, per NBC News.

Chiefs wide receiver wishes to contact victims

Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, stated he’s using X to help him connect with the families of the victims of Wednesday’s massacre.

Victim says shooter was ‘spinning and shooting in a circle’

Along with his wife and children, a father who was shot yesterday during the Chiefs‘ win celebration claims his family witnessed an individual circling in a circle and firing shots into the throng.

Leavenworth, Kansas resident Jacob Gooch spoke with CBS Mornings about his horrific experience: His wife was shot in the leg, where the bullet went right through, and he was hit in the ankle, breaking two bones. His 13-year-old kid was shot in the foot and still has a bullet lodged there.

“I haven’t even begun to process this morning. It’s just crazy. We’re all still in shock right now,” he said.

“I personally did not see the shooter. I heard the altercation of a girl who said like, ‘You don’t do it [the shooting] out here, this is stupid,’ or something like that. And then the gunshots, which at the time I thought were fireworks.

“My wife and daughter saw the shooter come out … she said she saw some lady pulling him back and people had started backing up and then he pulled it out and started spinning and shooting in a circle.”

Overheard warning to alledged gunman, continued

“My daughter said that some lady was like holding him back, and people had started backing up, and then he pulled it out and just started shooting and spinning in a circle,” he said in the interview.

Gooch reported that he had been shot, along with his wife and children.

He informed CBS that Gooch was shot in the ankle and had fractures to many metatarsals in his foot, while his wife was struck in the leg.

Gooch did not disclose details on his son’s injuries or a current medical status report, per CNN.

‘Don’t do it’

After Wednesday’s parade and rally for the Kansas City Chiefs, the Super Bowl champions, shooting survivor Jacob Gooch, Sr., who was wounded in the ankle says he overheard an argument before the mass shooting, he told CBS Mornings on Thursday.

Before the gunshots began, Gooch told CBS’s Gayle King, he heard a woman warn the alleged gunman, “Don’t do it, not here; this is stupid.”

Then, according to Gooch, his wife and daughter saw a gun being pulled.
