One of the Kansas City Chiefs parade suspects was ‘missing his jaw’ as he tried to scramble from scene after ‘personal dispute’ shooting erupted into all-out chaos, witness reveals
Digital how he bumped into some of the suspects as he was fleeing to safety after shots rang out at the event on Wednesday.
‘[One of the suspects] turns around and his jaw’s been shot. He’s basically missing his jaw, and he’s freaking out,’ Janssen said.’He doesn’t know what to do. He doesn’t know what to do. And then his buddies are kind of scrambling. They’re all like, don’t know if they should keep running or help his buddy, since he’s bleeding now.’
Janssens was not sure if the suspect was a victim or one of the shooters, but he followed his military training and kept his eyes on the injured man.’I saw him hand over a bag to the other two individuals that he was with. And I see them kind of run — trying to take off and try to escape. And they’re running towards these two semi-trucks, and they get in between these two semi-trucks,’ he said.
That’s when the veteran led police to the group, and the men began running, with Janssens and the officer following.
Four other good Samaritans heard Janssens and they tackled the suspect, but another suspect got away.
A mother and popular disc jockey died in the burst of gunfire Wednesday as the parade and rally were concluding, and 22 others — more than half of them children — were injured. By Friday, two people remained in critical condition and one was in serious condition. Most of the injured children were out of the hospital and expected to recover.
