Chiefs regret ‘senseless act of violence’

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, who attended the celebration, said at a press briefing that he was “incredibly upset, disappointed” about the shooting.

“I don’t want us to have to worry about being shot in our country – for every major event,” he said.

“I’m outraged by what happened today,” said Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves. “Those who come to this festival should expect a safe environment.”

The Kansas City shooting is at least the 47th mass shooting in the U.S. this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which includes cases in which four or more people were killed, not including the shooter.
