Kansas City Chiefs parade shooter ‘sprayed bullets into crowd by spinning in a circle’ before fleeing, says witness

Gooch said he didn’t personally see the gunman, but was a short distance away as he recalled initially thinking the gunshots were fireworks.

He said he was shot in the ankle, his wife was shot through the calf muscle, and his son sustained a bullet wound to his foot, but his family were thankfully okay besides the wounds and had returned home from the hospital.

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said over 800 law enforcement officers were stationed around the parade, and Gooch said he and his family’s safety barely crossed their minds as they headed for the family event.

‘(It was) just a bunch of happy people,’ he said – before adding that he ominously grew fearful around 15 minutes before the shooting began.

‘I got suspicious of a certain group of people that were there,’ he said.

‘We were standing on the side of the stage where the shooting ended up happening, and right before it ended up happening, there was this group dressed in all black.

‘It was about four, five, six kids, or they looked like kids, with black on, black masks, and they disappeared into the crowd.’
