Two people were killed and 15 others wounded Sunday in Kansas City, Mo., when a gunman opened fire on a line of people outside a bar, police said.
The shooting began about 11:30 p.m., following a disturbance among the crowd of people waiting to get inside the 9ine Ultra Lounge, southeast of the city’s downtown, Kansas City Police Chief Richard Smith said at a Monday news conference. The suspect killed one woman before an armed security guard confronted, shot and killed him, Smith said.
Authorities described “a chaotic scene” as hundreds fled the venue by foot and in cars, the violence shattering the city’s celebration of its football team, the Kansas City Chiefs, who had just advanced to the Super Bowl — what was “an exciting night, a euphoric night,” Mayor Quinton Lucas said.
“Last night was a night many people in Kansas City have been dreaming of for 50 years,” Lucas said at the news conference. “This is very disappointing for us. It’s heartbreaking.”
