What should’ve been a joyous day in Kansas City turned absolutely tragic after a gunman decided to open fire on people at a bar, injuring 15 people and killing an innocent woman.
The AP reported the attack occurred just before midnight right outside of 9ine Ultra Lounge in Kansas City, Missouri following the Chiefs Super Bowl berth.
An armed security guard would fatally shoot the gunman before he could hurt anyone else.
A spokesman said the shooter opened fire on a line of people waiting to enter a bar, but the motive for the shooting wasn’t immediately clear.
“It just put such a tragic end to such a wonderful day in Kansas City,” Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said at the scene, referencing the win. “It’s just hard to stand here and talk about this kind of tragedy on really one of the best days Kansas City has had in a long time.”
