KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The person fatally shot at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory celebration Wednesday has been identified, as police held three people in custody and sought answers over the culprits and motive behind the shooting.
The victim was named by her family as Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a popular figure in the city's Hispanic community and beyond.
At least 21 other people were injured, eight of them "life-threatening," when shots were fired at about 2 p.m. CT, authorities said. At least 11 of those injured were aged between 6 and 15, Children's Mercy Hospital said.
Three people have been detained by police in connection with the incident, though they have not been identified. The exact circumstances and motive behind the shootings remain unclear as a police investigation continues.
Paul Contreras, a Chiefs fan who was seen in video circulated on social media tackling a possible suspect in the shooting to the ground, told NBC's "TODAY" Thursday that his actions were "just a reaction" as he saw someone running the opposite way to the direction fans were talking.
