New video of the Kansas City shooting shows some of the injured children trying to escape the horrific scene -- and we've learned new info about what sort of weapon police believe the shooter used.

TMZ obtained this never-before-seen footage ... a new angle of Wednesday's shooting as the Chiefs Super Bowl celebration wrapped, and now you can see exactly where the shooting started ... and how the injured -- including a handful of kids -- reacted.

Police have said 9 minors were among the 23 victims who suffered gunshot wounds yesterday, and here you can see a few of them hobbling away -- but heroically, also helping each other -- immediately after the barrage of gunfire outside Union Station.

You can also hear someone yelling, "It's fireworks!" -- a mistake several witnesses have said people were making amid the chaos and confusion immediately following the shots.

Remember, cops have come out and said this didn't appear to be a terroristic act, but rather, a possible dispute between parties ... which killed at least one person.

As for the investigation ... cops have only said they have 3 persons of interest in custody, and 2 of them are juveniles -- but our sources, with direct knowledge of the investigation, say cops also know there were an estimated 40 shots discharged on the scene.

We're also told cops recovered at least 3 weapons -- one of them is an AR-style pistol, and 2 others are handguns with extended magazines. It's unclear if all those weapons were fired during the shooting.

Our sources say cops believe the violence was set off by a confrontation between 2 males and one female -- and it's possible there was more than one person who opened fire in the dense crowd.

As of now, no one's been charged in the mass shooting ... and we're told the 3 persons of interest are being held in separate jails while police question them and gather more information.

Time will tell if/when more info comes to light ... but for now, we have this intel.

BTW, vigils are going on in Kansas City Thursday night to honor the victims of the shooting -- and a lot of public officials are out there ... as are citizens to pay their respects, as well as to send their prayers.

Un nuevo video del tiroteo en Kansas City muestra a algunos de los niños heridos tratando de escapar del lugar y junto con eso hemos averiguado nueva información sobre el tipo de arma que la policía cree que utilizó el tirador.

TMZ obtuvo este material, que es un nuevo ángulo del tiroteo ocurrido el miércoles en medio de la celebración del Super Bowl de los Chiefs, y ahora se sabe exactamente dónde comenzó el tiroteo y cómo reaccionaron los heridos, incluyendo un puñado de niños.

La policía ha dicho que 9 menores estaban entre las 23 víctimas que sufrieron heridas de bala, y en este video se puede ver incluso a algunos de ellos cojeando, pero heroicamente y ayudándose unos con otros. Esto ocurrió inmediatamente después de que estallaran los disparos afuera de Union Station.

También se puede escuchar a alguien gritando: "¡Son fuegos artificiales!", un error que varios testigos escucharon a la gente decir en medio del caos y la confusión después del tiroteo.

Recuerden, los policías han dicho que esto no parece ser un acto terrorista, sino más bien una posible disputa entre las partes que terminó cobrando la vida de una persona.

En cuanto a la investigación, los policías solo han dicho que tienen a tres personas de interés en custodia. Dos de ellas son menores de edad, pero nuestras fuentes, quienes tienen conocimiento directo de la investigación, dicen que los policías también saben que se efectuaron alrededor de 40 disparos en la escena.

También nos han dicho que la policía recuperó al menos tres armas: una de ellas era una pistola AR y otras dos contaban con cargadores de gran capacidad. No está claro si todas esas armas fueron disparadas durante el tiroteo.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que la policía cree que la violencia fue provocada por un enfrentamiento entre dos hombres y una mujer, y es posible que hubiera más de una persona abriendo el fuego entre la densa multitud.

Por ahora, nadie ha sido acusado y nos dicen que las 3 personas de interés están detenidas en cárceles separadas, mientras la policía los interroga y reúne más información.

El tiempo dirá si sale más información a la luz, por ahora, contamos con esto.

Por cierto, se realizaron varias vigilias en Kansas City el jueves por la noche para honrar a las víctimas del tiroteo. Un montón de funcionarios públicos estuvieron ahí, al igual que los ciudadanos quienes quisieron presentar sus respetos y enviar sus oraciones.

If Darren Waller were running the Chiefs, he would not give Taylor Swift a Super Bowl ring ... telling TMZ Sports he thinks the championship jewelry should be strictly for actual members of K.C.'s squad.

The New York Giants star explained his thoughts on the matter after Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, locked up his third Super Bowl title at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Waller said while he'd be totally in favor of Swift scoring a replica ring ... the real-deal ice should go to "people in meetings, on the field -- like, really in the trenches, you know?"

Of course, there are plenty in Chiefs Kingdown who would disagree ... Swift, after all, seemed to be quite the good luck charm for Kelce and his teammates throughout their title run this season.

She attended 13 games in total ... including the four playoff contests the Chiefs had to win in order to get the SB LVIII crown.

But, clearly, Waller thinks that's just not enough to reward her with some big diamonds.

The NY tight end also spoke to us about Patrick Mahomes and the incredible run he's been on since he became the Chiefs' starter in 2018 ... and he said he can certainly see the quarterback catching Tom Brady's mark of seven Super Bowl titles one day.

Big day at TMZ, and we're almost at the finish line in the week ... but just getting started on our TV coverage which was chock-full of good stuff.

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes were taking lumps -- at least by some -- in the court of public opinion -- this after we reported that they were both in attendance at a restaurant/bar for a private party they'd booked as a team in the aftermath of the Kansas City shooting.

We know Patrick had actually organized this -- having booked the spot well before the shooting -- but they're catching flak for actually having gone ... even after the tragedy.

We talked about it all on "TMZ Live" Thursday ... and yeah, it got pretty intense.

Over on "TMZ on TV" ... we were also talking about Travis Kelce, but in a much less serious way -- here, we just got into this new clip of him and Taylor Swift being "so magical."

Finally, on 'TMZ Sports' ... Mike and Mojo talked about Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan seemingly rekindling their romance -- this on the heels of their "breakup." How 'bout that?!?

The KC Chiefs fan who tackled an armed suspect at the parade shooting says he didn't think twice about going after him ... and the guy apparently had a big gun on him.

Paul Contreras is the person on video tackling one of the people who got detained Wednesday -- and he joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday to tell us how he ended up being hailed a hero.

It all happened super fast ... Paul says folks were yelling at the crowd to tackle an individual who was running the opposite direction of everyone else. He had an angle on the guy and he says his instincts kicked in and he went out and pounced.

Paul tells us he was wrestling the man to the ground when he noticed a large firearm hit the deck. As others fled for their lives, Paul says he fought for his ... wrestling with the guy and trying like hell to keep him pinned until police came and eventually handled the rest.

Cops say there are at least 3 people in custody in connection with the deadly mass shooting -- but none of them have been arrested or booked on any charges as far as we know.

Paul, a Chiefs fan from Nebraska, was at the Super Bowl victory parade with his 3 daughters ... one of whom tells us she helped keep the gun away from the shooter once the weapon was on the ground. That seems to be who we see pick up the gun in the now-viral clip.

Cops say the shooting does not appear to have been an act of terrorism ... instead, authorities believe it was a dispute between multiple parties that escalated.

Police say 23 people were shot and one person died.

Travis Kelce was only playing follow-the-leader when he walked into a restaurant to keep on celebrating after the Kansas City shooting -- 'cause we've now learned Patrick Mahomes planned the whole thing, and was there as well.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell us the get-together at the Granfalloon Restaurant And Bar in K.C. Wednesday evening was actually spearheaded by the Chiefs QB -- and, according to our sources, he had the idea shortly after the Super Bowl win.

We're told Pat was the one who rented the place out. Cops were on hand for crowd control. Travis obliged when several cops asked him for selfies.

While we only got pics of Travis rolling into the establishment hours after the shooting ... our sources tell us Patrick was also in attendance, as were other Chiefs players.

Unclear who else was there at the Granfalloon -- but we spoke to the restaurant owner ... and he said a few other players had rolled in, and that it was a private event. Unclear exactly what the guys were doing inside -- presumably, eating, drinking, etc.

The question, of course ... why would Pat, Travis and other teammates go out in public and keep their good time rolling after a massive tragedy?

It's something many have been wondering since we broke the story of Travis attending this gathering ... with a beer in hand.

As we reported ... the shooting left one person dead, and 22 others injured with gunshot wounds. Cops have said this didn't appear to be a terror attack -- but rather a dispute between parties.

Now that we're learning Patrick was in the mix for this party -- it makes ya wonder what sort of thought process went into their decision to go through with the party ... especially since they were all well aware of the shooting.

Taylor Swift fue absolutamente efusiva con Travis Kelce en el campo después de que ganaran el Super Bowl el domingo. En un momento hasta le dijo: "¡¡¡Eres tan mágico!!!"

El adorable comentario fue captado por un micrófono mientras ambos se abrazaban en el estadio Allegiant de Las Vegas tras la victoria de los Chiefs por 25-22 sobre los 49ers.

También se pudo escuchar a Swift en el audio, que acaba de ser publicado por la NFL, diciéndole a Kelce: "Nunca he estado tan orgullosa en mi vida."

"No puedo creerlo", añadió. "¿Cómo lo lograste? ¿Cómo lo hiciste?".

Kelce le devolvió los cumplidos a Swift, elogiándola por aparecer totalmente normal a pesar de haber tomado un largo vuelo de Tokio a Los Ángeles para llegar al Gran Juego.

"¿Cómo no tienes jet lag en este momento?", le dijo, antes de que ella respondiera: "El jet lag es una elección".

Los dos, por supuesto, se fueron de fiesta toda la noche por varios clubes de Las Vegas.

De hecho, fueron vistos acurrucándose tan fuerte el uno contra el otro que el hermano mayor de Travis, Jason Kelce, los llamó "dos enamorados".

Taylor Swift absolutely gushed over Travis Kelce down on the field after the Super Bowl on Sunday ... at one point telling him, "You are so magical!!"

The adorable comment was picked up on a hot mic as the two embraced at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas following the Chiefs' 25-22 win over the 49ers.

Swift also could be heard in the audio -- which was just released by the NFL -- telling Kelce, "I've never been so proud in my life."

"I can't believe you," she added. "How did you do that? How did you do it?"

Kelce then returned the compliments Swift's way ... praising her for somehow appearing totally normal despite taking a lengthy flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles in order to make it to the Big Game.

"How do you not have jet lag right now?" he said ... before she responded, "Jet lag is a choice."

The two, of course, then partied the night away ... hitting multiple clubs in Vegas throughout the night.

In fact, they were seen nuzzling up against each other so tightly at one of the postgame events ... Travis' big bro, Jason Kelce, called them "two people in love."

Jackson Mahomes was caught up in the chaos during the Kansas City parade shooting -- at least according to one eyewitness ... who says she saw him going above and beyond.

A woman named Jess revealed on X Wednesday that Patrick Mahomes' little brother had actually stuck around in the aftermath of the Chiefs parade -- and was apparently on the scene when shots rang out and people started panicking.

She writes, "I don’t care what anyone says but I have found a new found respect for Jackson Mahomes, Ana and I were stuck hiding with him at union station by the trains and he was taking care of a child who lost his parents and helping him calm down."

Her tweet has since gone viral ... and while she didn't elaborate beyond that, the story about Jackson is being praised and shared -- with many expressing shock Jackson was there.

The Chiefs players/staff had already left by the time gunfire erupted ... so it's shocking to hear JM may have still been around. According to Jess ... not only was he on the scene, but he was helping others -- including the most vulnerable people who were scared/distressed.

What Jess goes on to describe about the moment is absolutely horrifying -- and if she's saying Jackson was right there with her ... then he was experiencing the exact same thing.

She says, "We heard pops and then we saw everyone rushing running crying headed towards where I was standing in panic and we had to jump over the gates by the stage and entrance of union station running for our lives in union station hearing gunshots seeing people HIDING IN OVENS!"

The Chiefs org itself said afterward that all players, coaches and staff members were safe and accounted for -- but on its face, it doesn't sound like that applied to Jackson ... that is, if what this eyewitness is describing is accurate ... though, she seems quite sure.

As we reported ... at least one person was left dead from the shooting, and 22 other suffered gunshot wounds of varying degrees. A few people were detained, but no arrests have been announced just yet ... and police say they're still investigating what exactly happened.

Video of a man being tackled by bystanders appears to show someone picking up a rifle of some sort and tossing it aside -- although, it's unclear what the motive for the shooting was.

The most tragic part about this is that several of the victims are children, nearly a dozen.

Travis Kelce entró a un restaurante unas horas después del tiroteo en Kansas City, esto de acuerdo a nuevas fotos obtenidas por TMZ.

Conseguimos 3 fotos que muestran al jugador ofensivo de los KC Chiefs caminando hacia el Granfalloon Restaurant and Bar el miércoles por la noche, y como se puede ver, fue visto por algunos agentes policiales que querían sacarse una selfie con él.

Travis estuvo obligado a hacerlo y otros testigos nos dicen que luego entró al restaurante y se unió a otros compañeros de equipo. Parece que tenía una cerveza en la mano.

También nos cuentan que las fotos fueron tomadas un poco antes de las 7 PM CT, que hemos confirmado por nuestra parte también, así como por la comprobación de los metadatos, lo que habría sido varias horas después de que estallaron los disparos cerca de Union Station justo antes ese mismo día, en medio de la celebración de los Chiefs.

Travis estuvo cantando melodías de Garth Brooks durante la celebración, antes de que las cosas se volvieran siniestras. Alguien (o más de uno) abrió fuego cerca de la multitud que merodeaba la zona, causando la muerte de 1 persona y 22 heridos de bala.

Travis se refirió al tiroteo en X: "Tengo el corazón destrozado por la tragedia que ha tenido lugar hoy. Mi corazón está con todos los que vinieron a celebrar con nosotros y se han visto afectados. Kansas City, significas el mundo para mí".

Su equipo también se refirió al tiroteo, diciendo: "Estamos verdaderamente entristecidos por el acto de violencia sin sentido que ocurrió afuera de Union Station al final del desfile de hoy. Nuestros corazones están con las víctimas, sus familias y todo Kansas City".

Señalaron que todos los jugadores, entrenadores y personal estaban a salvo.

La mayoría de los jugadores de los Chiefs también se han pronunciado sobre el tiroteo. En cuanto a quién más podría haber estado en el Granfalloon con Travis ... poco se sabe.

Un hombre que recibió un disparo tras la celebración de los Kansas City por el Super Bowl, al igual que su esposa y su hijo, dice que antes de que sonaran los disparos escuchó a una mujer diciéndole a un hombre: "No lo hagas. No aquí. Esto es estúpido".

Jacob Gooch Sr. dice que su esposa y su hija vieron al tirador disparando mientras se movía en círculos. Se habló de que el tiroteo podría haber sido el resultado de dos o más personas peleando, pero si lo que Gooch dice es correcto, dar vueltas con un arma de fuego sugiere que la persona estaba tratando de atacar a la mayor cantidad de personas posible.

Y además está esto: 15 minutos antes del tiroteo, vio a unas personas que él percibió como sospechosas cerca de él, eran 4 a 6 "niños" con máscaras y ropa negra. Dice que desaparecieron entre la multitud poco antes de que terminara la celebración.

Gooch recibió un disparo en el tobillo, su mujer en el pecho y su hijo en el pie. Dice que todos están bien.

A man who was shot after the Kansas City Super Bowl Parade ended -- shot along with his wife and son -- says immediately before shots rang out he heard a woman tell a guy in the crowd, "Don't do it. Not here. This is stupid."

Jacob Gooch Sr. says his wife and daughter saw the shooter fire as he spun in a circle. There was talk the shooting might have been the result of two or more people beefing with each other, but if Gooch's account is correct, spinning in a circle as the gunman fired suggests he was trying to hit as many people as he could.

And there's this ... 15 minutes before the shooting, he saw what he thought were suspicious people near him ... 4 to 6 "kids," wearing black masks and black clothing. He says they disappeared in the crowd shortly before the rally ended.

Gooch got shot in the ankle, his wife was shot in the calf, and his son was shot in the foot. He says all of them are ok.

Travis Kelce walked into a restaurant a few hours after the shooting at the Kansas City parade -- this according to new photos obtained by TMZ.

We obtained 3 pictures that show the KC Chiefs tight end walking into the Granfalloon Restaurant and Bar Wednesday night -- and as you can see, he was spotted by some police officers on hand who wanted a selfie.

Travis obliged, and eyewitnesses say he then went inside the restaurant ... joining other teammates, we're told. Looks like he had a beer in hand.

We're told the pics were snapped a little before 7 PM CT -- which we've confirmed on our end as well, checking the metadata -- and that would be several hours after shots rang out near Union Station just earlier in the day ... just after the Chiefs parade wrapped up.

Travis was singing Garth Brooks tunes during the celebration ... before things turned deadly. Someone (or more than one) opened fire near the crowd that hung around in the aftermath, resulting in at least 1 dead, and 22 others who suffered gunshot wounds.

Travis addressed the shooting on X. ... "I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today. My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me."

His team also addressed the shooting ... writing, "We are truly saddened by the senseless act of violence that occurred outside of Union Station at the conclusion of today's parade and rally. Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and all of Kansas City."

They noted that all of the players, coaches and staffers were safe and accounted for.

Most Chiefs players have spoken out about the shooting as well. As far as who else might've been at the Granfalloon with Travis ... unclear.

Eleven kids between the ages of 6 years old and 15 years old suffered wounds during Wednesday afternoon's shooting at the Chiefs' Super Bowl parade, officials say.

Lisa Augustine, a spokesperson for Children’s Mercy Kansas City, said in a statement to TMZ Sports the hospital treated 12 patients after at least one gunman opened fire at Union Station following the championship festivities in K.C. -- and of those dozen, 11 were children.

Augustine added that nine of the 12 sustained gunshot wounds.

Thankfully, the hospital rep said, "All are expected to recover."

So far, law enforcement says 22 people in total were struck by gunfire just minutes after Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce had addressed the massive crowd that had gathered to celebrate their recent victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

At least one person, authorities said, died in the shooting.

Cops say three people have been detained in connection with the attack ... although no motive has been revealed. An investigation remains ongoing.

The Chiefs said in a statement they're "truly saddened by the senseless act of violence that occurred outside of Union Station at the conclusion of today's parade and rally."

"Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and all of Kansas City," they added.

4:45 PM PT -- A bit of good news ... an official at the local children's hospital tells us the 11 minor patients they are treating, ages between 6 and 15, are expected to survive. 9 of the victims were treated for gunshot wounds.

3:26 PM PT -- Kansas City officials just held a press conference and the scale of this mass shooting ... and it was much larger than anyone thought.

For starters, there are a total of 22 gunshot wound victims at this point ... and 7 of them have suffered life-threatening injuries -- way more than what was initially reported.

3 individuals have been detained at this point ... but it's unclear if they've been arrested and charged with anything just yet. The cops say that one of people detained stemmed the viral tackling that went around on social media -- where an apparent AR-style rifle was seized.

At least one person was killed in the shooting.

3:11 PM PT -- We're now learning more about the victims from this shooting -- a majority whom are apparently children.

Multiple reports are pouring in that say of the 12 patients at a local hospital -- 11 of them are children ... and 9 of those 11 have gunshot wounds.

2:37 PM PT -- As it turns out ... an AR-style rifle may well have been used during this shooting -- something you can now see clearly in zoomed-in footage of a man getting tackled.

In the clip below -- where bystanders take a man down and pin him until cops arrive -- you see a woman in white pick up what appears to be a clear firearm ... and from the looks of it, it's a long rifle. The gun itself seems to be black -- but it's unclear if it belonged to the person who was tackled.

A lot of questions still need to be answered ... and cops are looking into it. On the face of it though -- this could've been a lot worse than it already was.

The Chiefs also addressed the tragedy ... saying, "We are truly saddened by the senseless act of violence that occurred outside of Union Station at the conclusion of today's parade and rally."

"Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and all of Kansas City."

The team added it will continue to stay in contact with law enforcement and local officials ... and shared their appreciation to all the first responders who took action.

New video, obtained by TMZ, shows the moment a flurry of shots rang out at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory rally.

You hear someone in the crowd scream out, "Patrick f**king Mahomes," seemingly in celebration of the Chiefs' victory. Then, in the distance, you hear a series of gunshots ... appearing to come from either an automatic or semiautomatic weapon, based on the rapid fire.

People then scramble for safety and victims fall to the ground.

At least one person was killed and authorities say 10 to 15 people were injured. None of the players, coaches or staffers were injured in the shooting.

Two people are in custody in connection with the shooting.

Several people in the crowd had eyes on someone who they believed was one of the shooters. You see them run and then tackle that person to the ground ... while another bystander seems to grab what looks like a rifle, moving it away from the scrum until police arrived on the scene.

The shooting occurred just after the parade ended.

Police do not know the motive.

La aparición de Justin Bieber en el show del Super Bowl estuvo muy cerca de haber ocurrido, pero simplemente no estaba en las estrellas, por lo que dice Lil Jon.

Hablamos con el rapero en TMZ Live el miércoles y nos dice que Justin Bieber en realidad estuvo considerando subir al escenario junto a Usher, su antiguo mentor para la gran actuación, pero al final decidió pasar porque significaba mucho para él.

Lil Jon añade que todos querían que Biebs estuviera en el show, pero los ensayos, la responsabilidad, el tiempo y los ojos puestos en él no eran algo que quisiera enfrentar en este momento, y como todos vimos, optó por relajarse en el público con su esposa Hailey.

Por supuesto, los fans estaban deprimidos de que no le hubiera dicho que sí a Usher.

Alicia Keys, H.E.R., Ludacris y will.i.am terminaron subiendo al escenario junto a Lil Jon, así que no es que los fans no tuvieran artistas de la lista A durante su actuación de 13 minutos. Y aunque Justin no estaba allí, Lil Jon dice que igual estaba apoyándolo.

Sin embargo, no se puede negar que este dueto habría añadido una capa extra de magia al espectáculo, sobre todo porque fuimos los primeros en contarles que estaban en conversaciones directas para llevar a cabo el momento que habría sido recordado por muchos años.

Por si no lo saben, Usher ayudó a catapultar a Bieber a la fama y este ha estado trabajando desde entonces, así que por su parte, parece que todavía necesita un descanso de las actuaciones.
