Incredible video shows moment public tackled suspect to ground after fatal shooting at Super Bowl parade

Footage has emerged showing the moment members of the public tackled a suspected gunman during yesterday's Super Bowl parade in Kansas City, Missouri.

One person was killed and 21 others were injured in a shooting at the end of the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl parade, an event intended to celebrate the NFL team's historic win.

Nine of the 21 injured were children aged six to 15-years-old.

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.
