MISSOURI NEWS: 1 dead, at least 21 injured by gunfire at Chiefs Super Bowl parade in Kansas City. 8 children among the injured.

Statement from Grandparents for Gun Safety in Missouri:

'Once again we witnessed a tragic, unspeakable and PREVENTABLE mass shooting. We are angry and determined to act now to insist our elected officials serving in the Kansas and Missouri state legislatures and those representing us in Congress recognize easy access to guns is one fixable cause of so many of these horrendous events.

It is long past time for them to stand up, speak out and accept the consequences of passing lax gun laws while simultaneously opposing any legislation that could prevent these senseless shootings.'
