3 Face Federal Charges in Chiefs Parade Shooting

Prosecutors said Wednesday that three Missouri men face federal firearm charges in the mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade last month. The three are accused of participating in illegal weapons trafficking and straw purchases of firearms, NBC News reports. They're not accused of doing the shooting. "At least two of the firearms recovered from the scene of the mass shooting at Union Station were illegally purchased or trafficked," US Attorney Teresa Moore said in a statement. Straw purchases involve buying a gun for a person who's not allowed by law to have one or for someone who doesn't want his name connected to the purchase.

Fedo Antonia Manning, 22, is charged with 12 counts, the US Attorney's Office said. Ronnel Dewayne Williams Jr., 21, and Chaelyn Hendrick Groves, 19, face four counts. All live in the Kansas City area. The newly unsealed court documents contained new information about the parade shooting, per KMBC. Law enforcement authorities reported that 12 people brandished firearms at the event, and at least six of them fired their weapons. The filings say the shooting grew out of an argument between two groups. One person was killed, and 22 were injured. (More Kansas City stories.)
