Police charged two juvenile suspects allegedly responsible for the Super Bowl parade shooting in Kansas City, Missouri.

Gunfire broke out on the west side of Union Station during the parade Wednesday, leaving one dead and 23 others injured, according to the Kansas City Police Department. The Jackson County Family Court division criminally charged the two suspects as juveniles on “gun-related and resisting arrest charges.”

“Two juveniles were charged on Thursday, February 15, 2024, by the Office of the Juvenile Officer related to the incident at the Chiefs’ rally on February 14, 2024,” a statement by the court read, according to Fox 4 Kansas City sports reporter PJ Green. “The juveniles are currently detained in secure detention at the Juvenile Detention Center on gun-related and resisting arrest charges.”

Additional charges are “anticipated” as the investigation continues, the statement reads.

No other information about the suspects can be released due to their minor status, KMBC News reported.

Kansas City Police Chief Stacy Graves said it is believed the shooting began as a “dispute between several people that ended in gunfire.” She also said the deadly incident was not a result of terrorism. (RELATED: Police Reveal New Details Behind Deadly Kansas City Shooting)

The victims injured in the attack ranged between ages 8 and 47 years old, and half are younger than 16, according to The Associated Press. A mother of two children, 44-year-old Lisa Lopez-Galvan, was reportedly killed in the shooting. Several more victims arrived at the hospital in critical condition, according to CNN.

The Kansas City Chiefs, who won the 2024 Super Bowl, mourned the shooting in a statement released late Wednesday.

“We are truly saddened by the senseless act of violence that occurred outside of Union Station at the conclusion of today’s parade and rally,” the team said in the statement. “Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and all of Kansas City. We are all in close communication with the Mayor’s office as well as the Kansas City Police Department. At this time, we have confirmed that all of our players, coaches, staff and their families are safe and accounted for. We thank the local law enforcement officers and first responders who were on-scene to assist.”

Footage of the incident showed paradegoers hurrying away from Union Station as gunfire could be heard from the garage.

Both the Kansas City Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are currently requesting videos and tips about the shooting as they investigate the incident, according to CNN.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
