Alleged gunman at Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl celebration confessed to police, this is what he said

During a verbal altercation, one of the men accused of murder in connection with the fatal shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory celebration last week allegedly told police he was “just being stupid” when he “advanced” on a group of strangers and opened fire in a throng of people carrying children.

According to police affidavits acquired by Fox News Digital, Lyndell Mays, 22, of Raytown, Missouri, was seen aggressively approaching members of another group on security footage outside Kansas City’s historic Union Station. According to the records, the two groups got into a fight because one of them thought the other group members were staring at them.

According to the affidavit, the video demonstrated that Mays was the first to start firing at someone who was fleeing from him despite being surrounded by large groups of people, including children.

Mays “hesitated shooting because he knew there were kids there,” he said in an affidavit, during an interview with detectives from a hospital where he was receiving treatment after being hit by gunshot during the conflict.

Mays told investigators that he started shooting after he heard someone in the other group threaten to murder him, saying, “I’m going to get you.” According to the affidavit, he claimed that as the other group member was fleeing, he randomly selected someone to shoot at.

Mays and Dominic M. Miller, both eighteen, of Kansas City, are accused of two counts of armed criminal action, unauthorized use of a firearm, and second-degree murder. Each of them has a $1 million bail placed on them.

According to an affidavit, Miller, who was a member of the other group, first told authorities that he was shot in the back and that he and his buddies fled after hearing gunfire. A hospital was also providing care for Miller.

Miller acknowledged firing four or five shots when investigators showed him footage of him pursuing someone in Mays’ group and firing, according to the affidavit.

Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two children and local radio disc jockey, is thought to have been shot by Miller; she later passed away from her wounds.

While thousands of Chiefs supporters celebrated their team’s victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Lopez-Galvan was one of 23 victims shot on the west side of Union Station. Fans fled for their lives.

The majority of the victims were less than sixteen. During the incident, at least 11 children were hurt, but they were all expected to recover. Two of them received more injuries, and nine of them were shot.
