Eventually stunned rallygoers 香蕉视频直播� many in tears 香蕉视频直播� gathered their belongings, trying to figure out how to get home. Strangers comforted each other as police put up crime scene tape where moments earlier there had been a joyous celebration.

The police chief said 1 million people likely attended the parade, which occurred in a city of about 470,000 people and a metropolitan area of about 2 million, but stressed that the violence was wrought by just a handful of people.

Police didn香蕉视频直播檛 identify Filter as a man who intervened or specifically say whether the person he tackled was a suspect.

Hank Hunter, a Kansas high school sophomore, said he heard shots in the distance while watching the rally with a friend. Initially, they didn香蕉视频直播檛 know what it was, but then, 香蕉视频直播渓ike a chain reaction,香蕉视频直播� people started hitting the ground.

They ran to jump over a barricade, and his friend slammed his head into the concrete, Hunter said.

Children香蕉视频直播檚 Mercy Kansas City said all nine gunshot victims taken there were expected to recover. But Stephanie Meyer, the hospital香蕉视频直播檚 chief nursing officer, said the children are scared and will need mental health support. The hospital香蕉视频直播檚 staff members are also struggling.
