Shooting during the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City on Wednesday February 14 left at least one dead and nine injured. Three of the injured are in critical condition and five others in serious condition, a fire official said.

Tens of thousands of people celebrated the Chiefs, who paraded through the streets of Kansas City to celebrate their victory on Sunday. The United States is paying a very heavy price for the spread of firearms on its territory and the ease with which Americans have access to them. The consequence of this proliferation is the very high rate of firearm deaths in the United States.
