Three individuals have been arrested following the incident.

The deceased individual has since been named as mother-of-two and radio host DJ, Lisa Lopez-Galvan.

KKFI, the radio station she worked at, released a statement saying: "It is with sincere sadness and an extremely heavy and broken heart that we let our community know that KKFI DJ Lisa Lopez, host of Taste of Tejano lost her life today in the shooting at the KC Chiefs' rally.

"Our hearts and prayers are with her family. We encourage anyone who feels they saw something to reach out to law enforcement at 816 234 5111.

"This senseless act has taken a beautiful person from her family and this KC Community."

Thousands of fans were filmed running from the gunshots, with the mayor running with his family to take cover.

Local reports state that the players were still on stage when the shots went off.

Now, a video has surfaced of one of the three arrested shooters making his way through the crowd, armed, when the public reacted.

He could be seen being tackled to the ground by a couple of men, and then piled on by some other individuals to keep him from causing any more damage.

The video, posted on X, said the police found a sniper on the scene.

Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves stated that officers responded immediately following the gunshots, with detectives on the scene swiftly, opening an investigation.

The Fire Department were quick to administer aid to the injured, with more than 800 police officers on the scene to monitor the parade.

Kansas City mayor Quinton Lucas told a news conference: "I'm heartbroken and I'm incredibly upset and disappointed.

The public managed to hold down the gunman until police could detain him.

"I was there with my wife and my mother, I never would have thought thousands of people would be forced to run for their safety today.

"We went out today looking for a celebration and that was marred. We are praying for the safety of everyone."

He concluded: "This is absolutely a tragedy the likes of which we never expected in Kansas City."

Lucas also confirmed that all players, staff and coaches of the Kansas City Chiefs were safe.
