Kansas City police did not suggest that there was any further danger from any other shooters, and allowed everyone to leave Union Station shortly after the shooting.

Police did not immediately release any information on the suspects’ identities. Initial reports said as many as 10 people were shot near Union Station as the parade crowd was beginning to depart the area.
