While all the pieces of the incident have yet to be pieced together, it has been confirmed by the police that it was not tied to an act of terrorism.
Two teenagers have since been arrested in connection with the tragedy and have been charged with gun and resisting arrest charges. They are being held in a juvenile detention center, and extra charges are anticipated to be included in the future as the investigation unfolds in the coming days.
Due to the teens not yet being of adult age, their names have been withheld from the public in line with juvenile court cases in the state. It is also expected that the same rule will prevent their hearings from being public if their case proceeds to trial.
In the meantime, the authorities have continued to solicit information about the incident from the public to help with their ongoing investigation.

The one individual who lost her life in the shooting has been identified as a 43-year-old local DJ known as Lisa Lopez-Galvan.
The deceased woman was the host of a Tex-Mex music show on community radio station KKFI. She was also actively involved in raising funds for Latino community events and organizations, including organizing toy drives for kids suffering from cancer and college scholarships.
During the shooting, her son and two other family members were injured. The son has been released from the hospital.
Well-wishers subsequently started an online fundraiser to raise money for the Lopez-Galvan family. It has since raised more than $230,000, with $100,000 being donated by singer Taylor Swift, who was at the Super Bowl event to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The U.S. President And Several High-Profile Individuals Have Reacted To The Shooting
Several individuals have voiced their opinions over the incident, with the Kansas City police chief, Stacey Graves, one of the leading voices, per The Guardian.
“This is not Kansas City. I’m angry [about] what has happened … All the law enforcement that were there did the best they could, and I’m so proud of them that they ran into danger,” she said in a press interview after the incident.
Kansas City’s mayor, Quinton Lucas, weighed in on the shooting, describing it as “tragic for everyone who was part of it” and calling for more action to stop the epidemic of mass shootings in the U.S.
The U.S. president, Joe Biden, sent in his condolences and called for “tougher gun control measures” as a preventive measure against the recurrence of such incidents.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs denounced the shooting as a “senseless act of violence” and mentioned that their players, staff, and families were all safe.
