Hero couple say 'fight or flight' took over at Super Bowl parade

Trey and Casey Filter, of Wichita, apprehended and disarmed one of the gunmen at the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City. They 'fight or flight' instinct took over as they tackled the shooter to the ground.

That does not line up with some of the possibilities bandied about. Narrows things I think.

Sounds like it could be terrorism, domestic or otherwise ?
Kudos to the brave people who jumped and tackled down at least one of them.
Imo.
Rest in peace, Lisa Lopez-Galvan.
Out for a parade and a fun day , turned into horror by some evil perps.
My utmost condolences to her loved ones !

Police chief says it was a dispute between individuals, not an act of domestic terrorism.

3 suspects in custody. No charges yet. Still under investigation. Reporter asked if gang-related. Police chief says under investigation. Multiple firearms recovered. No updates on the conditions of children that were hospitalized. No information on additional reports of nearby shootings yesterday being related. Kansas City will continue to have major events including St Pats Day parade. Question about use of metal detectors for future events - not answered. Half of victims are under age 16. All expected to survive.

A lot of the information from the press conference doesn’t make sense even if you discount some of the earlier info we talked about.
I just don’t know.

I am in awe at the bravery of these Good Samaritans, Great Samaritans actually, who tackled one guy with a gun. They apparently saved so many lives when they brought him down and got his gun away when it fell.

Whomever the suspects turn out to be, and whatever the motive, this was instinctual on the part of civilians who took him down before he could shoot anyone else.

Did the juveniles arrested have guns?? If so it’s just more failure on the easy ability to gun access.


I know the KC officials are saying “This is not Kansas City,” but it is now, tragically. IMO anyplace where someone can access a gun and shoot the innocent is a potential target.

Lots of trash around Union Station this morning, then I noticed this in the debris. Hope the owner is ok. I’ll hang on to it in case he/she wants it back.

MOD NOTE:

There is a general gun control thread here:

General Gun Violence/Gun Control #2

Hi All, Tricia has asked us to open up a discussion about gun violence, as clearly, there is a problem with gun violence, especially in the United States. In many of the cases that come to Websleuths, gun violence is the cause, and we don't/can't allow general gun violence/control discussion...

www.websleuths.com

If it isn't specific to this case, it will only derail this thread.

“I was just yelling, ‘F your gun!’ and I was just hitting him in his ribs. It was great. You know, America stuff,” Trey Filter told the New York Post.

I don't like this America.

Bridget Barton was enjoying the #KansasCity Chiefs parade when gunfire erupted. She and her family fled to safety like thousands of others. When she got home and opened her backpack, she says she found a bullet lodged deep within one of her blankets. You can see the slug in the bottom left corner of her ziplock. She is now turning in the evidence to KCPD.

Observations…
Anybody who spins around in order to “pepper” the crowd, probably isn’t using a handgun.
Anybody who is in a personal dispute with someone probably wants to go after and target that one person and not turn their weapon on groups of random people.
If this was a group of young people, KC has a really big problem.
