Federal prosecutors announced on Wednesday that three individuals from Missouri are facing federal charges in connection with the illegal acquisition of high-powered rifles and firearms equipped with extended magazines.

This follows last month’s tragic shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade and rally, which resulted in one fatality, approximately two dozen injuries, and caused chaos as hundreds sought shelter.

According to court documents revealed on Wednesday, twelve individuals were seen brandishing firearms during the February 14th rally, with at least six firing weapons.

The event, attended by an estimated one million people in downtown Kansas City, saw the recovery of several firearms, including at least two AR-15-style rifles, some of which were unlawfully obtained, as stated by U.S. Attorney Teresa Moore.

These federal charges emerge three weeks after state authorities charged two other individuals, Lyndell Mays and Dominic Miller, with second-degree murder and multiple weapons-related offenses linked to the shootings, the Associated Press reported.

Additionally, two juveniles were apprehended last month on charges related to firearms possession and resisting arrest.

Police reported that the shooting erupted from a confrontation between two groups following an exchange of stares.
