The Foreign Minister of Mexico, Alicia Bárcena, expressed her deepest condolences to the family and friends of Elizabeth ?Lisa? López-Galván, the woman of Mexican roots who lost her life in the shooting during the parade celebrating the victory of the Kansas City Chiefs
The head of the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed and detailed that, so far, "there are 21 people injured [...] They have not given us the names of who is in the hospital, but we are very attentive at the Mexican consulate in Kansas, to care for the family and support them in everything they need.”
López Galván was a much-loved broadcaster, and the daughter of a mariachi born in Mexico. In addition to her losing her life, one of her sons and her nephews were wounded by a gunshot.
The celebration for the victory of the Kansas City Chiefs after lifting the Vince Lombardi of the NFL, was a must for López Galván, who was a fan of the team, so he went to Union Station with the idea of having fun, however, it was murdered in what the police classified as a fight.
Kansas City police confirmed the shooting was a dispute between several people, including 2 minors. They did not reveal names even though the suspects are in custody.
?Preliminary results of the investigation have shown that there was no link with terrorism or domestic violent extremism. "This appeared to be a dispute between several people that ended in shots fired," said Kansas Missouri City Police Department Chief Stacey Graves at a press conference.
Likewise, he confirmed that during the night of this Wednesday it was learned that there were 23 victims of the shooting, one of them, Elizabeth López Galván, 43 years old, "we are still learning about her, but we know that she is very loved by many. To your friends and family: we are with you?, he stressed.
Given the facts, he stated that they are working ?tirelessly? to clarify the murder.
In turn, Graves said that the age of the 22 victims ranges between 8 and 47 years of age. He explained that, at least half of the victims are under 16 years of age.
"As we mentioned yesterday, we have detained individuals, two of whom are minors. We are working to determine the participation of others. And it should be noted that we have recovered several firearms, he added.
President Joseph Biden seized the opportunity after the shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs parade and again called for a ban on ?assault weapons.?
"Today's events should shock, shock and shame us into action," Biden said.
"Make your voice heard in Congress so we can finally act to ban assault weapons, limit high-capacity magazines, strengthen background checks, and keep guns out of the hands of those who have no business owning or handling them," he added. .
