Three people have been taken into custody in connection to the violent attack. A few Chiefs fans and law enforcement quickly acted during the shooting to keep more people from being killed or injured.
A debate began on social media about gun control not long after news of the shooting went viral. President Joe Biden and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi called for more control after the tragedy in Kansas City.

Will a change in the law come?
There have been numerous mass shootings in the US in 2024. Many times in previous years, politicians in the Republican Party and Democratic Party have said something needs to be done to address mass shootings. But nothing seems to be getting done in Washington.
Will the country listen to Newsom’s advice?
