A shooting at the end of the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade leaves at least one dead and seven injured while sending terrified fans running for cover.

Fire Department Battalion Chief Michael Hopkins says one person was killed and eight to 10 people injured but declines further comment, saying only that additional information will be released soon.

Police say in a news release that two people were detained. Fans were urged to exit the area as quickly as possible.

Multiple people near the parade route were carried away on stretchers shortly after Chiefs fans marked their third Super Bowl title in five seasons.
