The two teenagers arrested in connection with the shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs rally have been charged with possession of a firearm and resisting arrest.

According to Kansas City Starboth teenagers are being held in Juvenile Detention, where they may be required to attend a certification hearing to decide whether or not they will be tried as adults, depending on the type of criminal charges brought against them in family court.

Among the crimes that require certification are first-degree murder and assault.

The unfortunate shooting happened early Wednesday, after the Super Bowl, when thousands of Chiefs fans gathered to celebrate their team’s victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

Many individuals were forced to take cover as shots were fired west of Union Station. One person was reported dead, with over 20 injured.

According to some reports, the shooting may have occurred due to a misunderstanding between the two suspected shooters and not necessarily a targeted attack.

Chiefs fan Paul Contreras has spoken out after bravely tackling one of the suspected shooters in the tragic mass shooting to the ground.

During the conversation with KETV news, Contreras talked about the intensity of the moment and how he didn’t think about it and just acted on impulse.

He said, “A guy was screaming and saying, ‘stop him, arrest him, arrest him,’ anything, and he just wanted to run. And out of nowhere, I heard the guy yell, so I was just like, ‘Okay, I’m here.’”

Contreras continued, “I didn’t think about it. I really… reaction. I didn’t hesitate; it’s just, ‘Just do it.’ So I went to tackle him, and another guy did the same thing, and as I tackled him, I saw that his weapon was either out of his hand or his sleeve because he was wearing a long jacket.”

He shared that after seeing the weapon, he realized they had to “take this guy down,” so he and other individuals made sure to hold the alleged shooter in place while calling the police.

According to Contreras, it felt like forever before the police came to arrest the alleged shooter, but it actually only took seconds.
