There are several children who need to be re-unified with their parents. No link, watching live.

My guess is gang violence. Gang shootings seem to be extremely common at NFL related events.

Oh my God.
This is also the anniversary of the Parkland shooting.

The madness never ends.

Listening to live local coverage of the shooting in Kansas City. The anchor just said a local childrens hospital is treating "multiple children."

Wow!! From that video it appears that regular citizens tackled that suspect before LE got there. Heroic

Multiple shootings, no deaths and the NFL thing makes me think that this is almost certainly gang related. Let's just see though. I could be very very wrong.

Is it possible that the shooter was targeting Travis Kelce? There is often false reports of two shooters in the immediate aftermath of a mass shooting.

I know that Taylor Swift has a lot of stalker fanboys.

You peaked my curiosity. Are gang shootings extremely common at NFL events? I'm not sourcing much on that.
Totally could be gang related but I'm not seeing the NFL connection. MOO
