President Joe Biden called on Congress and the country to act in the wake of Wednesday’s mass shooting following a parade for the Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs.

“It is time to act. That’s where I stand. And I ask the country to stand with me. To make your voice heard in Congress so we finally act to ban assault weapons, to limit high-capacity magazines, strengthen background checks, keep guns out of the hands of those who have no business owning them or handling them,” Biden said in a statement released by the White House. The National Football League issued a statement Wednesday following a deadly shooting that took place at Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl celebrations.

"We are deeply saddened by the senseless shooting that occurred today near the end of the rally in Kansas City for the Chiefs. Our thoughts are with the victims and everyone affected," the league said on X. "We are grateful for the quick and thorough response of law enforcement and emergency personnel."

Three people have been detained as an active investigation is ongoing into a deadly shooting Wednesday at Kansas City Super Bowl celebrations, according to Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves.

A video has circulated which shows "some fans tackling someone," she said at a news conference. Authorities are trying to determine if one of the detained individuals is the same person featured in the video.

She added that authorities are still working to identify the deceased victim.
