Two adults have been charged in connection with the mass shooting at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade last week. The new charges come after two juveniles were detained last week on gun-related and resisting arrest charges.
Police have said a dispute among several people led to the shooting. The actual shooting was bad but the way it went down will shock you.
The shooting that claimed a life and injured more than 20 others last Wednesday in Kansas City started because someone was looking at someone else.

“Four males approached Lyndell Mays and one of the males asked Lyndell Mays what he was looking at, because they didn’t know him,” the charging documents allege.
“They began arguing about why they were staring at each other,” Detective Grant Spiking wrote in the documents of Mays and a group of men involved in the confrontation.
Guns were drawn, some from backpacks, on both sides, prosecutors said.
Miller allegedly opened fire, along with at least one other person, and it was his gunfire that struck Lisa Lopez-Galvan, there to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl win, prosecutors alleged at the news conference.
A wife and mother of two adult children lost her life because some men were so thin-skinned about somebody looking at them. They couldn’t even man up and just fight, they had to pull weapons out and shoot.

Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays each face charges of second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said.
Lisa Lopez-Galvan was allegedly fatally shot by a bullet from Miller’s gun.
Mays told police “that he drew a gun first, in a crowd of people with kids, picked one of the individuals in the group [he was arguing with] at random, and started shooting, all because they said, ‘I’m going to get you’ and to him, that meant, ‘I’m going to kill you,'” the probable cause affidavit said.
Mays said he fired two shots. Miller said after he heard gunshots and saw a man shooting at him, he returned fire, according to the probable cause statement.
Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff on Saturday in remembrance of Lopez-Galvan.
