Several injured in shooting at Super Bowl parade in Kansas City

Several people have been shot in Kansas City, Missouri, after a Super Bowl victory parade, police say.

The shots were fired west of Union Station, near to where thousands had gathered for the parade on Wednesday.

The number of injured is unclear, although a fire department official told the Associated Press that around eight people had been hit.

Two armed people have been taken into custody, police said.

Video shared on social media showed police officers streaming into the busy station.

The city was celebrating Sunday's Super Bowl win by the Kansas City Chiefs.
